It was raining when I woke up, so I re-planned and made this Thursday a museum and mall day. Though before that, I moved over to a tour agency to get my DMZ tour for Friday organized. After that I made my way straight on the National Museum of Korea – the biggest and one of the better museums in Asia. The museum visit was followed by a trip around town with a focus on indoor activities – in my case the COEX mall, the Techno Mart and the Kimchi Museum.

In the evening – after a busy (indoor) day – I decided to visit Namdaemun Market … a traditional market in the heart of Seoul. I also had dinner in a small restaurant in the market … and the old rule is true again – if you look for good, authentic and cheap food – go to the market … so delicious that I ended up in the same restaurant on Saturday evening once more.

After dinner I continued my walk, heading into the direction of the city hall – just to discover that the Deoksugung palace was still open … After a visit to this palace, I ended up in Myeong-dong once more.
