UCRAZY with KIWI and ST JEAN











The title is correct. Those are our nicknames!
I spent my day with my two Korean friends.
I met KIWI at sinsa station at 2pm, then we went to Insadong market with his friend, ST JEAN :)
Insadong is a great place for traditional shopping. You can find hanbok (traditional Korean costume), postcards, typical products, jewellery, items such as various plates and chopstick, decorations.. good place to buy souvenirs!
Also a good place to try Korean snack and having a tea in a trainional teahouse.
I'd never get enough! love grabbing snacks in the street, eating mini-size snacks such as dry fish, pancakes filled with red brean, tofu in a stick, rice pasta with spicy sauce, "ota": fried pancake filled with honey and sesame... every 30 mins :)
Then we went to the Historical museum, was about to close but we made it for free! (I just have to smile and say " KAM SA HAM MI DA" with tenderness!
We talked a lot, drunk a lot, smoked a lot, walked a lot, laugh...
We went to a Korean restaurant for dinner where we shared some fried seafood: un délice!!! it is called JEON. We had some Korean wine to match the dish. Lets drink, drink, drink and drink again :)
Then we stopped in a convenience store, coffee shops, saw a snowboarding competition, went to see those traditional palaces.
I had a great time,especially when we had a "tabou talk" together, speaking about differences btw Asia and Western countries, sex in our societies, relations btw teenagers and the way it's evolving today... In Asia they speak less about it than we do.
I had an interesting day learning more about an other side of Korea :P
