Hear is my story~
 




He is more than 60 years old who have been guiding foreigners for 5 years after his retirement.

We learned how our ancestors developed the floor heating systems. 





This restaurant is one of popular Korean place. However, it's pretty expensive and the visitors should make an arrangement before visiting. 

















 
Finally, I finished the tour and walked down toward to Insadong.

Time to have a lunch!
This time, I visited side streets instead of the main street of Insadong.

After the lunch, I went to Tea Café/Museum and took this beautiful picture.

Deck of tea collections were welcoming my visit.


I had about 4 hours left to meet my friend in Kun-Kook University Station, so went to a café that was decorated with Korean traditional furnishers.

Let me show you what I bought!
I got this pretty ring~

Of course, I bought two more organic soap bars

Some Korean rice crackers

The other day, my mom wanted to have a new fan and handkerchief, so I got those for her~

I bought mine too!

This is my fan~ :)
 
I had a great time even though I was walking around the street alone.
