Korea: Day 5

5:39 PM

 
Day 5 took me to Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Folk Museum, and Bukchon Hanok Village - all highly rated tourist spots in Seoul. My friends and I rented hanboks from Hanbok Nori, which I highly recommend. Everyone around us had the same glittery hanboks, so my group stood out in our more traditional hanboks. The best part about Hanbok Nori is that they offer personal assistance in styling hanboks and help with your hair as well. Afterwards, we headed to Bukchon Hanok Village for its traditional homes called hanoks. Just a heads up - it's someone's home so be quiet and respectful when you're around!

Korea: Day 4

10:53 AM

Late on day 3, my friend, Tina, flew in from Yamaguchi to hang out with Taylor and me. Tina and I woke up early day 4 to go on a DMZ tour, which to be honest was kinda weird. The two of us were expecting it to be more about the Korean War and the continued tension along the 38th parallel, which it was, but it was also very focused on the nature aspect of the DMZ and all the animals thriving there. Out tour guide told us to pose like deer, which is what we're doing in the photo. Unexpected, right? After the tour, we met up with Taylor to explore Ikseon-dong and Myeong-dong - two of Seoul's most popular hang out spots for students.
