Namsangol Hanok Village

We visited Namsangol Hanok Village during the weekend with flora's buddy, yoon jung and her 3 friends, 2 koreans and 1 japanese. We had an enjoyable day there as it was a beautiful village displaying tradtional korean living from the Joseon Dynasty.




And we also witnessed a traditional wedding ceremony between a french man and his korean bride taking place. Notice the lady dressed in khaki behind the groom. According to our korean friends, she's actually an actress and relative of the bride, though we have never heard of her before.





The next place we visited was Insadong which is a cultural street bustling with activities. It sells lots of traditional arts and crafts and has numerous art galleries, antique stores, traditional tea houses and other shops. Lunch was traditional korean cuisine in a tea house and we also tried the famous cinnamon bun there which is delicious. Insadong is definitely worth a visit~
