MYEONGDONG
The other side of my boots went haywire yesterday and so I need to find a cobbler AGAIN to mend it as I've 2 more days to my trip. I am prepared to throw this pair of boot away and wear out whatever I still have at home (at least another 4 pairs) so I am determined to not go home with a new pair!
It didn't take us much effort to find a cobbler in Myeongdong. By the way, mending one side of the boot cost me 5000won which is about SGD5.50. Not very expensive and they did a good job.

BUKCHON HANOK VILLAGE
Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional Korean houses called 'Hanok' which dated back to the Joseon Dynasty. 'Bukchon' means northern village and this place is exactly at the northern side of Seoul.
Today, some of the houses here are being used as art galleries, restaurants, cafes, tea houses, cultural centres and guesthouses, allowing tourists and visitors to immerse in traditional Korean culture.
 |
| some of the houses are still occupied by families |
