Insadong

Our first month in South Korea found us living in a traditional area, a street lined with ceramic shops, cobble stones, traditional tea houses and yummy restaurants. We were living in a youth hostel for the month (and paying out the nose... ewwww) which got us both fairly frustrated - (shared kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom which could comfortably fit a bed and nothing else). But the area made up for that fast.

Tim went out a couple of times early in the morning to take photos, some of which we have attached. At the bottom of the main street was a cool area filled with neon lights, dodgy restaurants and dodgier pubs (which we love). Its a really nice area, and its where Buddha's bday bash was held.

We also learnt that although we all agree that people talking Russian often sound angry when discussing flowers, they also sound angry when they're really angry at you. Tim decides that communal living sucks, and the day he lives in a commune, will have to the day they supply him with meds.
