Seoul and more

We spent the next day visiting the demilitarized zone, trying on traditional clothing in Insadong, a quick stop at the SNU and clubbing in the NB club in Gangnam. Another led us to explore the Deoksugung palace, stroll along the Cheonggyecheon stream, look for traditional souveniers in Insadong, have stuffed chicken for dinner, drink Dongdongju in our little traditional bar in Nok-Du and spend the night in the Cocoon club in Hongdae. Yet another day we were lucky enough to visit Samcheongdong with Jerang and her sister Lydia. Thanks to our knowledgable tour guides we got to have a great lunch and a very traditional Korean desert: sweet & warm bean soup. Way better than it sounds. Sadly, we had to part eventually to get the last tour through Biwon (the secret garden). On the way back home we got the chance to witness a Buddhist prayer service in the Jogyesa temple.
