We paid a visit to Bukchon Hanok Village under Ant’s recommendation. It’s hyped as a 600-year-old cultural site for tourists, but had its charms as a result: numerous little boutiques and cafes housed in olden-style architecture in this beautiful fusion of old and new. Scott and I got lost wandering the neighbourhood (as is wont whenever I lead the way with nowhere in mind) and stumbled upon some residential spots arranged in such a way that one would have to really have to trust that their neighbours wouldn’t climb all over their tiled roofs as I was tempted to do.
