What a beautiful accident it is to find ourselves Insa-dong.

Insa-dong Street is a street of Korean traditional culture with antique art and book shops, traditional teahouses and craft shops. It is one of Seoul's leading gallery streets and has been the location of many art galleries since the olden times. (Taken from the Seoul Metropolitan Government Tourist Guide Book)

I really hate it when something happens, and the itinerary I worked hard on(with matching color codes and tables, as well as maps) gets slightly ruined in a way. But maybe getting lost, and letting go of the itinerary is worth the risk after all.

I must thank Wifi Korea for being located in this area, for if not for them, I won't be able to walk the alleys of Insa-dong during our trip. (Also, if you're going to Korea, get their services. Awesome people, and awesome Wifi, you'll never be sorry.)

With a pathway of frog fountain benches, and line of trees. Insa-dong felt so authentic, vintage and in character. I felt lost in its feel. It's like I could walk around its path all day and I'll never get bored.


We randomly decided to enter this alley where we spot old looking houses, which turned out to be an alley of teahouses and galleries. Plants were abundant everywhere. There's like tea by your left, ceramics to your right. It felt as if my fantasy teahouse Pinterest board came to life. I was above the clouds.

What I hated so much about myself, not only during when we were in Insa-dong, but also during the whole duration of our Seoul trip, was the fact that I tend to be shy whenever I take photos of things I like to keep in memory. But maybe I'll discuss that in another entry.


If given another chance to fly back to Korea, I'll definitely put Insa-dong on my list.
