Insadong Street

Located in the city centre, constantly teems with tourists, giving you time to get used to the city buzz before exploring more offbeat destinations. Get souvenirs and art there; shops peddling korean wooden masks, traditional fans and dolls everywhere. There are over 70 arts galleries selling works ranging from just a few dollars to thousand.




We were there on the first day and last day of our trip. Were rushing back to Insadong on the last day to buy souvenirs for my friends (isn't it good to be my friends? hee) and Mervin uncle's canvass for his painting. He said he needs to paint for the upcoming art gallery in Spore.
You can also take a break on either side of the Insadong Street where alleyways are crammed with coffee houses and traditional restaurants.
All in all I like Insadong, one of the best place I been to during my trip. Its great! It is also known as the art street which really keep me excited! :) (Pardon for some spelling mistakes!)
But I still miss Japan!
