By Myself in Insadong

After the DMZ trip I had the afternoon to myself. I decided to pick up a few more things in Insadong and look for a few things the professor from Emory had told me about. Insadong is right next to my hotel so I figured I couldn’t get too lost. As shopping I went in a light rain which cleared some of the crowds. I bought most of everything I still wanted and did some bartering. Then I went to Ssamziegil which is a four story shopping mall on an incline. You walk up and up and can legally graffiti certain areas to you get to the roof top where you can see most of Insadong. It was pretty cool! I had to take a picture of myself. My hands were full and I was getting hungry. My first idea was to check out a restaurant I saw advertised but it turned out to be very expensive so I walked toward the hotel. On my way I stopped by the bus stop to check out the airport departures. You can never be too prepared! I also stopped at the information booth to triple confirm that it was the correct bus stop to the airport with the correct departure times. Then I went to a small Italian restaurant right near the hotel. For 8 bucks I got baked spaghetti, garlic bread, and pickles. It hit the spot!
