[travel] seoul 2012

This particular trip to Seoul involved me running around frantically to check off everything on my list. Since I had to make pit stop trips to Thailand and Hong Kong, I had literally six days to gotothedermatologist-getmyhairdone-meetsomefriends-hitupmyusualspotsinapku-checkoutthenightmarkets-sayhellotomydoctor-eatwithmyfamily-andallthatothergoodstuff. To say that it was manic would be an understatement.

Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton at Incheon Airport

Found these macarons in a cafe off a side street near Garosugil. Really good.

Went to this Cafe with V from NO NAME blog!

My old hood in Apkujeong

Cheon-gye River, one of the greatest things Lee Myungbak did as mayor of Seoul.

Night in Cheong-dam

Window display in Cheong-dam

I fell in love with this window display for a men's shop in Cheong-dam.

Namdaemun Market

Rice cakes sold in a subway car for the Korean Thanksgiving.

Bulgogi at Han Il Kwan, a must for every trip.

The ubiquitous apartment complexes all over Seoul.

Goods for sale in underground shopping complexes. Love this concept and seems unique to Seoul.

The menacing, massive shopping complex that is Doota in Dongdaemun.
