I'm not going to lie - today did not go to plan at all.
I was meant to be going on a group tour to the Demilitarised Zone and Joint Security Area between North and South Korea. I was mean to be getting picked up at 7am, so being the prompt person I am got there at 6:30.
At 8am I finally caved and called the company, who told me it had been called off, and no one had thought to tell me. GREAT.
Instead, I went back to bed, started the day again 2 hours later and went out for a last lunch with some of my Seoul friends.
The thing about travelling, is that things like this are going to happen, and you kind of just have to roll with the punches.
After lunch, I decided I wanted to go out and see some more of the city, despite being in a bad mood from the morning. I went to Insa-dong, a major shopping street known for its art and streetfood.
Being a sucker for a free cup of tea, I spent a few hours roaming galleries and small shops, and all of the alleyways around the main street.
There was a heap of street food too, and thanks to a friend I made here, I have a very helpful "I have a nut allergy" phrase to show people on my phone now, so I got some delicious stuff.
After the shops, I ventured north a little to Bukchon Hanok Village. Between the two main palaces in Seoul, it looks like it came straight out of the 1400s in parts. It is still a residential area, and there were a heap of cool cafes and modernisation people had done to their homes and shops.
Tomorrow, some nature xx
