Insadong is an artsy area, filled with lots of little shops, authentic Korean restaurants, and teahouses. We were on the search for some traditional Korean birth country gifts for the twins. Our first stop was to a stamp maker to have "chops" made. (We're getting some for Quin too, since we didn't think to do this last time we were here.) The lady helping us was so sweet and wrote out their names in English and then their Korean birth names as well. She will carve these onto small stone blocks and we will pick them up Thursday afternoon.
We continued to shop for a few other traditional Korean items and decided to have lunch in the area as well. This is the restaurant we ate at in Insadong.
We recognized most of the pictues on this menu outside and were able to order by writing down our selection.
John's was pork bulgogi and mine was beef bulgogi Ttukbaegi, which I think means "in a broth;" both were delicious. The kimchee has been awesome as well!
Insadong Street ends at a really cool park with a pavilion and lanterns.
After Insadong, we headed out to Dondaemun Market.
