There are markets and shopping alleys galore in Seoul. One day we braved Toy Alley and managed to survive without buying more than we could carry. It was tough, as there was store after store of awesome looking toys.
That same day I took the boy on an adventure in Myeongdong to a Cat Café - he was soooo excited!
The café has a TON of cats that you can pet, cuddle, and play with while enjoying a nice beverage. All survived and none were too traumatized by an over-excited petter.
Spring is flower season in Korea - here's one more cherry blossom picture for you:
As I previously shared, poop is popular here...and we found an awesome kid's activity book all about it:
The book is very educational, tracking the path food takes through one's digestive system and comparing the different shapes/sizes of varying animal's waste. It even comes with stickers to place on the pages; this page was my favorite, with funny faces on the poo as they were being flushed:
At a recent event, I enjoyed watching a traditional Korean Tea ceremony. It was beautiful to watch - very detailed, synchronized, and long - probably a bit more than I would want to do on a daily basis, especially for a cup of tea just for me. Here's a great video about the ceremony: Tea Video
I thought that Renaissance Faires were the land of food-on-a-stick, but then we found this: a long waffle with toppings on a stick - what?! How do you even eat that without becoming covered with sweet, yummy goodness? Ha ha!
We're almost ready to head back to the states, but not without a few more souvenirs. This was our most recent purchase at a furniture market - just a little taste of Korea to bring back with us and replace our old fiberboard TV stand, which will have an unceremonious curbside end once we get it back out of storage!
