Enriching Our Seouls

The weekend before last Mirabelle and I went to some museums around Insadong in Seoul. We wrote down where a bunch of art museums were, and we found none of them. But we did stumble upon 3 other museums, so all was well.

First, an art museum, where people had re-thought classic works like the Mona Lisa. Then came the Gahoe Museum, which the lady said was a "Pork Printing" museum when we came in. So we paid our entrance fee, but imagine our disappointment when there was NO PORK to be found. At all. So I don't know what that lady was talking about.

I made Johan a present! It's an amulet of making lover! Dirty!

Then we went to the embroidery museum, which was pretty wild. If you think embroidery is wild, that is.
The museums were in this cute area with traditional-looking houses. When we were walking around, we stumbled onto three celebrity stores.

It was very strange that there would be one, let alone three. It seems really common here to group stores selling identical things together. It's really strange. Like if I wanted to open a store selling celebrity stuff, I'd do it where there were no other celebrity stores, not in a place where there were already two right across the street. Strange! The people working tried to get us to come in and look, but we said we didn't know any of the celebrities, so there was no point. But then one offered us free tea, and we couldn't very well turn that down, right? Mirabelle ended up buying a pair of socks with Jang Dong Gun on them, but they didn't have anything with my favorite Korean star (the only one I recognize), Moon Geun Young. She's the Mr. Pizza model!! I got a free picture, but no socks with her face. Drat.
Then Mirabelle & I had semi-crappy fried chicken, then we went home.
The End.
