Korea: Insadong, Jogyesa tempel, Bukchon Hanok, CityHall (Day 3)

streetlife 

Day 3, Friday 15 May was our first full day in Seoul/Korea. We visited a shopping area, a teahouse, a temple, an old village, the City Hall and enjoyed our first Korean food. The weather was warm and humid. 
In the evening we had Korean BBQ in a restaurant where it seemed only men dined. Not very cozy, but the food was ok.

Tapgol parc with the stone Buddha behind glass; not a must see.
