| A traditional area in the city center |
|
|
| There are many good restaurants |
|
|
| These are just the starters ! |
|
|
| I can't count how many times they came with a totally different set of dishes :) |
|
|
| Exploring the Bukchon area |
|
|
| It is a old and traditional Korean village, located between two imperial palaces, and was mostly inhabited by noble families. |
|
|
| But we still have plenty electrical cables :( |
|
|
|
|
|
| It's quite a contrast with neighbouring areas |
|
|
|
|
| These are NOT typical inhabitants ! |

| Funny thing to plant in your garden |
|
|
| Koreans are slightly smaller than Nordics :) |
|
|
|
| This "house" is for sale ... wanna make an offer ? |
|
|
| Public bath often advertise on their chimney, making them easy to spot |
|
|
|
|
| Even in the capital city you can find traditional people, with age-old habits ! |

|
| This statue is of national hero General Lee Sunsin, who stopped a Japanese invasion thanks to his leadership and a battleship he designed, the Geobukseon, known as the "turtle boat". |

| We like trying new things. But not everything goes with our taste. This one didn't ... |
|
|
| It is made of piled ice of green tea, on a bed of milk. Inside, one can find red beans and nuts |
|
|
| Night street in the center |
|
|
| Sometimes in couchsurfing, one has to share the room |
|
|
| Seems like not everyone owns a washing machine |
|
|
| Seoul tower |
|
|
|
| Around the tower, couples leave locks (2, locked together), as a promise and sometimes as a lucky charm :) |
|
|
| Seoul |
|
|
|
| Around 9 and 10 pm, laser spectacle takes the tower and its surrounding as a stage |
|

|
| Changing colours |
