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. :(

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

Who's getting married? |
There were these touristy things so we just derped around a bit.
Then we looked around the area.
Random kitchen |
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
Afterwards, we saw a rehearsal for a Taekwondo show that would be on the weekend. Maybe we'll come back to watch it later....
Here are more pictures of the Hanok Village:
