While you're travelling in Korea, you will come across the name of places almost always ends with the word 'dong'. This dong, that dong. Apparently dong means neighbourhood or village (in the olden day context).
So anyway, lets explore the first dong, Insa-dong. See, this place is like a tourist spot and something you cannot missed if you come to Seoul and I sure am glad I came here. Insadong has been around for more than 500 years since the whatever dynasty. This place is like a village for artisans and stuff produced here are fit for royalty. So if you would like to get souvenirs that is uniquely Korea, then this is the place to be. Word of advice: Try to find the Info booth and grab a map of this area, otherwise you will be disoriented and lost track of where you are.

For those who don't know what is Kimchi, this is like something you gotta try in Korea. It is like an appetiser serves with any food in Korea. The way it is cooked or mixed apparently makes it a very nutritional. Must try!!!
