Would You Sell your SEOUL? We´ll buy it!: Sell Your Seoul Trip 5

Sell Your Seoul Trip 5 - Day 2 We woke up this morning with the sweet smell of bacon and toasted bagels emanating from the kitchen. The lady who owned the guest house was kind enough to make breakfast for us after our long voyage to Korea. After breakfast we went to CALT to rent some iPhones which we could use to help us find tourist attractions on our trip.

We had a special treat for lunch in store for us. Our guides took us to a restaurant that specialized in octopus dishes. We ordered octopus soup and spicy Bulgogi Octopus. I was amazed when our waitress approached our table with live octopus in a dish. She then cut up the octopus in front of us and put it in our soup. I can’t imagine another way to enjoy the freshest octopus possible. In another words, it was awesome! The soup tasted flavorful and filled our bellies.

We went to the Creative Arcade in Shindang Dong. Shindang Creative Arcade is a project to help educate the public about arts and culture of Korea. We saw lots of school children doing all sorts of arts and crafts. We were very lucky to join the group of children where we made our own design using glue and seashells fragments.

Despite warnings from our friends and families, we partook in some of Seoul’s finest street food. One item in particular stood out. It was a fried pancake injected with sweet syrup. It reminded me of Saturday mornings and cartoons. It was AMAZING.

We went to N Seoul Tower and took an elevator to the top floor. Then we got to see the whole city in one place. It was BEAUTIFUL!

Then we went to Namsan Gugakdang. We dressed into traditional Korean garments and learned the secrets of the Korean tea ceremony. It was quite an experience because we drank hot tangerine green tea and fried sweet potatoes with rice pieces. The tea was very calming!

We went to go eat Bulgogi for dinner which was marinated beef with garlic and mushrooms. It was one of Korea’s most famous dishes. It tasted sweet and tender.

We ended the evening at a prestigious private karaoke club where we danced and sang our favorite songs. It was great to watch our cameraman rock out to a Korean pop.
