There were many food stalls all over the city and because it was winter and freezing, it was so tempting to really just grab something hot in the street! I have no idea what they are and did not even bother to ask due to the language barrier. We did not get to try any except for the siopao looking one and the castañas

Another Korean BBQ restaurant!! YUMMY!!!!! My brother was in the food committee so he was in charge of the restaurants. He read about this from the internet 🙂 It was near the hotel. After this, we had to take a break from all the beef we have been eating. But we love korean BBQ!!!
Before going up to the room, we saw the chefs slicing the beef 🙂
You have to remove your shoes to enter the room 😉

The only beauty about going to Korea wintertime is the SNOW! Day2 was spent at the ski resort which was around an hour away.
As soon as we arrived, we went to rent suits for the snow
the ski resort has different slopes
My handsome boys skiing! James trying to teach the two how to ski by the beginner slope
While Mom warmed herself by the bonfire
And this was everyone else’s slope- the Sledding slope! 🙂 The kids just went up and down non stop sledding. They enjoyed!! We all enjoyed!!
Only James was the one who could ski so he was going up and down while we were enjoying sledding

We saw this first at the Korean Folk Village, but saw them in most tourist areas. Quite interesting. Just like how they make those noodles in the Chinese restaurants 🙂 We actually bought some and it tasted good
Click below to watch how they do it. I was not able to take a video so I looked for one in youtube:-)

After a tiring tour day, we just wanted to eat nearby the hotel. So we just asked the concierge for recommendations for Japanese restaurants. We walked near the hotel in a nearby mall and tried Kisara. Japanese food in general is expensive in Korea, from what we heard. And based on our experience in this restaurant, it is nothing that great. It’s regular Japanese food.
My favorite dish was the one my brother Quito ordered!! SUPER CRISPY UNAGI! He ordered two dishes with unagi and wow!!! I wish I ordered it.
The rest of the Japanese dishes which were okay, nothing spectacular. But presentation is good.
Dessert is always fruit with a little pastry

After the Korean Folk Village, we went back to the city to visit another shopping area. If you really want to buy cheap in Korea, the best is to buy Korean made products. Imported items are very expensive -up to 30% more for imported items especially the branded ones. According to our tour guide, Koreans are very nationalistic and they really patronize their own products.
In Insa-dong, you will find many local handicrafts and Korean stores
While walking, I saw this, it’s like a mall with more little shops. I had no time anymore to go in but there were many many people here also shopping

After lunch, we drove around 30 minutes away from the city to visit the Korean Folk Village

The reason we could not shop well was because we were already hungry!! 🙂 We asked our tour guide to take us a traditional korean bbq restaurant and she took us to this place! YUMMY!!! And it was half the price of Arirang and good for 19 people! 🙂
I love how they served the bulgogi!
Same thing here, she will not let us cook! Superwoman cooker, we had three cookers for the table and she cooked for all three!! 🙂

After the Palace, we went to Namdaemun Market
which reminded me of our Divisoria, but very clean and no smell
Many items for winter which I was so tempted to buy!! because it was soooo cold!!!!
Korean made products
Yummy seaweed snack, all kinds!
More snacks by the bulk!
They have many buildings for the indoor shopping and really like divisoria style
Love the display!
Housewares floor
fashion jewelry section
We only allotted one hour for this as part of the tour so we did not buy anything! I wish i had a whole day or more to go around for shopping. Next time
