Namsan Tower
Namsan Tower was really cool, but also very sad at the same time. This is a place where a lot of couples go to, but of course we only have each other 。・゚゚・(>д<;)・゚゚・。

This is about 1/16 of Seoul from Namsan |
Stalkin the president~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ |
Seoul is SOOOOOOO big. It can't even fit on my camera >_< |
The tower |
Trees full of locks. Couples attach a lock to the tree for good luck |

Namsangol Hanok Village
First with something random. Today was really sunny and warm, so there was a small place(near where we live) had turned on the fountain that kids can play in.
Anywayz, we went to Namsan today and went to a little hanok village (traditional style village).
We first got lost on our way there and ended up at Korea House, a place where traditional wedding ceremonies take place. Sadly, there were no weddings going on that day so we couldn't see one. :(
Then we finally found the Namsangol Hanok Village right behind it, just a few steps away. >__<
There were these touristy things so we just derped around a bit.
Then we looked around the area.
Here is a video:
At one part of the village, they were having a free medical examination by Dae Jang-Guem, a famous Korean physician/ kitchen court maid. We got a quick medical examination traditional style and even got some free tea.
(`・ω・´)
Here is the video where we talk about that:
Afterwards we had some lunch, since there was a lunch break from 12 - 1. (Look at our food post for details)
Then we went back to the village to buy some tickets to try on hanboks, "traditional korean clothes".
O(≧∇≦)O
Here be some pictures:
Afterwards, we saw a rehearsal for a Taekwondo show that would be on the weekend. Maybe we'll come back to watch it later....

Old jars where things are fermented (like kimchi and soy bean paste) and sauces are stored. |

Lunch Time at Myeong-dong
We ate lunch at a small local restaurant (only for about 36 maximum people at once).
Kimchi and pickled radish. Self-serve water and self-set up spoons and chopsticks.
We also saw this candy cookie ball and it was only 2,500 Won (about $2.21) so we got one just for fun.
