Shopping & eating in Seoul


Showing off my designer handbag that's a birthday present from Li Ki.  We had so much fun shopping in Insadong after discovering indie fabric designers who create the most fabulous textiles before turning them into wearable fashion and accessories.  It was seriously hard to choose what to buy!


Found a cutout of Park Bo Gum - my current favourite kdrama actor - outside a shop selling a brand of cosmetics we had never of.  So of course, we had to get some.  Especially since they gave me free calendars, posters and postcards of this flower boy.
 

Getting a makeover at Klavu beauty store in Myeongdong.  I was reluctant at first, but the very persuasive sales girl who spoke Mandarin, talked me into trying a new look.  Turned out to be a really fun afternoon!  And yes, I did end up buying quite a few new products.
 


Rose gelato in Myeongdong.  Very pretty.  Looks better than it tastes, to be perfectly honest.



Had the best meal on this trip at a mandu (Korean dumplings) shop in the back lanes of Insadong.  So tasty, satisfying and cheap. Just followed the locals instead of the tourists.
