Korea 2025 - Day 3

day 3, a monday. We strategically chose to go to the bukchon hanok village area on a monday to avoid crowds and it worked.

but first the age old quest of finding somewhere to eat before 11 or noon. We tried to get seolleongtang but this place was supposed to have it but didn't. 

sogeum bbang aka salt bread is from japan but super popular here now. of course its very delicious.

magpies everywhere.

Jogyesa Temple

just a quick envelope of water before checking out the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.

persimmons in the late afternoon sun

finally got my gaeran bbang, egg cooked into cornbread. Now everyone's adding cheese to it which i guess i don't mind

gwangjang market

bbq in ikseondong, if you go to one side you'll find down and dirty korean spots.

chestnuts
