weekend

this past weekend i went down to the min suk chon (민속촌), or the korean folk village. it's one of the obligatory things to do when you visit korea, where you can see the recreation of how life was in korea during the chosun period. it's a pretty cool place to visit; they have everything from live performances of the old martial arts to authentic tradition food they make within the village. i, of course, had a bottle of their soju (rice wine) ^^ called dong-dong-something (동동-모모? ). since i only brought my manual (analog) camera, i won't have those pictures until i return to the states and develop them. i'll probably visit min suk chon again when i take my friend who's visiting korea out there in the next couple weeks.

i also went to apgujung-dong (apgujung is the name, the -dong means district) to meet my girlfriend's brother for dinner. it's a pretty nice place, just south of the han river, where a lot of young adults go. they had a pretty large and trendy shopping mall there and of course a zillion places to eat. i keep meaning to take pictures of these places, but keep forgetting! i'll try to do better next time...
