| First stop of the day - Post a postcard at Seoul Central PO (서울 중앙) |
 |
우와
|
 |
| Why is there a scholarly statue in front of the post offiice? |
 |
| Ligna is hard at work - writing postcards! |
 |
| We are sending this postcard to our colleagues haha. And yes to Agnes who didnt join us at this trip |
 |
| Post it! |
 |
| A selfie before posting the post card. P.S. We handpicked these postcards at the Hongdae flea market. They are photographs taken by the arty budding photographers. |
 |
| A welfie before we set off to our next stop! |
 |
| Jongno Gwangjang Food Market (광장시장) 왔다! |
 |
| The first thing on my mind when i stepped in to the market is that... there are endless stalls of food! |
 |
| Eager customers waiting for their breakfasts |
 |
| The signboard says "Guaranteed" Must be really good. |
 |
I didnt manage to try this but this is Korean Sweet Pancakes,
Hotteok (호떡)
|
 |
| That's ahjumma busy all morning |
 |
| Look at that pile of glass noodles. |
 |
Hot and spicy rice
cake (Tteokbokki) 떡볶이
|
 |
| We also ordered kimbap |
 |
| Yay, breakfast time! |
 |
| 맛있다 ! |
 |
| Fishcake seaweed soup is a must order too |
 |
| Walking around because we wont be able to taste all the food here. |
 |
| Look at that freshly made pile of kimbaps |
 |
| A street of good food |
 |
| Immersed in the Korean food culture |
 |
The most interesting dish...Intestine Blood
Sausage with Vermicelli
(순대-Soondae). I
still dont dare to try. But i know those who did loved it. |
 |
| A happy chef |
 |
| Making endless pancakes |
 |
| Look what i spotted! A surge of excitement tells me i need to take a picture of this picture. haha |
 |
| I am a 런닝맨 fan = ) Teehee |
 |
| After breakfast, Ligna and I moved on to explore other parts of Gwangjang market and realised that they also have a section holding non food stalls. |
 |
| 한복 가게를 찾았다 |
 |
| I am amazed at this traditional costume and its no. of designs. All so so so pwetty, arent they? |
 |
| Presenting colorful hanboks |
 |
| Even children sizes! |
 |
쇼핑하러 가고 싶어요
|
 |
| I know there are endless hanbok pictures..i just cant help snap more photos |
 |
| We spotted SPAM luncheon meat. Jasmine's fave. But too heavy to buy and carry back la~ |
 |
| This pretty sums up the stalls that sells hanbok. |
 |
| All these are wedding candies used in Korean traditional wedding ceremonies. |
 |
| So i read that in a Korean wedding ceremony, dried meats and sweets are offered so that new mother-in-law accepts the new daughter-in-law with kindness and generosity. |
 |
| And there were also fresh fruits stalls. Just look at those strawberries. |
 |
| Back in the hotel, posing with my new slippers bought at Gwangjang Food Market = ) |
 |
| Cute polka dotty slippers haha ^^ |
 |
| Traditional needle pin cushion for my mum who sews |
