National Folk Museum | When in Seoul

What to do in Seoul May 13, 2016 0

When you see a place like this along the way, make your way in. This is actually not part of our itinerary but somehow it made the list. No regrets. We were using Google Maps and then somehow it told us we were there and so we followed a randim guy and brought us there. Voila. Basically, we were lost and yeah hahaha.

NO IDEA

FANTASTIC VIEW

SELFIE GAME UP

So glad we did enter though because it's apparently connected to the real destination. Also, it's kind of touristy as well and it's FREE.

Azalea's everywhere. Pretty! It's so nice that even though it's Sunday, it's not so crowded. Me likey.

There are a lot of traditional stuff inside that I actually don't understand. Again, it would be nice to go here with someone who knows what's up because we just took pictures of unknown stuff. But traditional.

Like this one. It's touristy. Pretty. But I don't know what this statue is all about. Life. Anyways, there's that. Ciao!

Bukchon Village | When in Seoul

Wanderlust May 08, 2016 0

Moving on to our 2nd day. We went to Bukchon Hanok Village. It's probably the simplest place we've been to and it's quite amazing how this residential place can be one of the tourist spots.

Can I just say that if you would line up our house in Sagamihara in this area, no one would even notice. Hahaha. Basically, this place is where they kept the traditional look of the houses from before and I must say they kind of did a good job. Ancient.
Kind of.

I was telling my buddy that it's ironic how some of the houses are being restored to look traditional. It defeits the purpose. But that's only me.

It's a very nice place to walk around. It's probably nicer to walk around this place when shops are all open and not in the morning when we went because everything's closed yet. But it was nice. Probably nicer to walk with someone who appreciates the
vinategy stuff. There's so much to look at really.

Also, this looks pretty in winter with all that snow. But whatevs.

I would recommend going in the morning because when we arrived, there are probably only one group walking around and when we were about to go out of the place, it's already semi-crowded so yeah. Ciao!
