First Taste of Seoul



It's been a rainy few days; today was cloudy but at least dry. We've had a tiring but action-packed few days, so I'll show you some snippets to visually stimulate what we have seen this week.

from top left (clockwise): 1) traditional temple detail, 2) lotus flower lamps on ceiling of buddhist temple, 3) concrete wall inside our favorite cafe, Coffee Market, 4) stairwell inside Leeum Samsung Museum of Art, Museum 1, by Mario Botta, 5) Entrance into Leeum Samsung. OMA
from top left (clockwise): 1) koreans love waffles, but the coffee is surprisingly expensive here, 2) Kimchi Pancake, 3) Cinnamon Punch garnished with pine nuts, at Insadong Hanuk Traditional Teahouse, 4) Sitting on the floors to eat will take some getting used to, 5) Spicy Pork wrapped in sesame leaf, 6) Korean hot pot


My little apatu (apartment)


bathroom
"Where is the tub," you ask? Well, in Korea the shower is the entire room. There is simply one dedicated drain on the floor, and a shower head connected to the sink head. It's a little awkward, since you end up hovering by the toilet during showers... and the seal by the door isn't exactly watertight.

Brilliant invention find of the week:

Mop Slippers!
