This weekend, we have our first Korean holiday. It is Chuseok, otherwise known as Korean Thanksgiving or the harvest holiday. Chuseok is actually only 3 days, but there is another national holiday on October 3rd, so our school gave us the bridge day off. Thus, 5 day weekend for us - score! We decided to go back to Seoul for some Korean cultural activities. On the itinerary: another templestay, visiting the National Folk Museum, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Bukchon Hanok village. We are hoping to see traditional dancing, clothes, and housing and of course, eat traditional food.
We are now on our way, taking the subway to Seoul. At the Cheonan station, we finally saw the little walnut pastries that the city is famous for. We took a video of the treat being made (which you can see below). Because of the holiday, we hoped the subway would be empty. Not so. We did manage to get seats though.

Hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your weekend!! Sorry about the travel book leading you to restaurants that no longer exist :( .
ReplyDeleteIs that face you guys are making because you saw those yummy walnut desserts?
haha we didn't just see them, we ate them! BUT they didn't have chocolate on the inside like I thought, it's red bean paste. The Asian delicacy that they think is a dessert. It's made from beans for crying out loud! Chocolate would make everything much better. And we like your book a lot. Unfortunately, I won't trust the restaurant recommendations anymore. But we'll use it to get us to a cool neighbourhood and then just choose our own restaurant. :)
DeleteSounds like Seoul was a fun experience...will have to go there with you one day! For now I am just going to Sicily...Ciao!
