ART + SEOUL #3 (National Museum of Korea)









The National Museum of Korea is quite interesting to visit. Even if you're not fond of art, you would like hanging around in this massive building, only made with glass and granite. Here are gathered from the most primitive to the most contemporary art works. Iron armors, gold royal crowns, porcelain and ceramics of all kinds, from all the korean dynasties. The following works are my favourite ones.

A Day in Samcheong Dong

Samcheong Dong is for me the less exotic place in Seoul. I really like spending afternoon hanging here, just looking the numerous trendy (and so expensive) clothes, shoes, and accessories shops. Why less exotic ? Simply because the street is lined with small shops, cafés, art galleries, trees, and the atmosphere is different from the relentless movement of the major streets of Seoul. Also, I like to say it, but all the korean people hanging are wearing so beautiful clothes, not just girls, but guys are always wearing colorful pants, or accessories which add that "something" such as a bow-tie, colorful socks ... Here are some pictures that I took today, I think you could easily figure out how different it is from the classic Seoul crowded streets.
