Snapshots: A Korean Lunch, Insadong, Seoul

I've been craving for Korean food lately - maybe it's all the Korean shows I've been watching. This picture was from our first day strolling around Seoul. We had gone to the palace to watch the changing of the guards and had walked along Samcheongdong, and arrived at Insadong around lunch time. It was a cold morning, and Jon had to buy thicker socks at a convenience store because the cold was seeping through his Chucks. The warmth of this tiny, hole-in-the-wall restaurant was definitely a welcome respite from the near-winter weather. And the food was really good! Look at that spread!

Snapshots: Couple in Namsan Tower, Seoul, South Korea

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I thought I'd post something related to that celebrated/dreaded day.

In Namsan Tower in Seoul, everyday feels like Valentine's Day (fortunately or unfortunately), as attested to by the couple above, who were writing their love confessions on a random chilly day in November.

If there was one thing I learned on my trip to Korea last November, it's this: it's not exactly fun to be single in Seoul. But that's for a whole other post. :)
