Hanbok village

Beautiful cafés, microbeweries and creative art shops inhabit old village house in the heart of Seoul. There are amazing food experiences on every corner. We have fallen in love with this part of Seoul, but they are super busy and many of the places have a long line.

Beautiful cafés make all food in tiny kitchens and the smell of yummy baked goods is everywhere 🥰

It gets very crowded on a warm sunny sunday, but well try tomorrow for a place at one of the most populare cafés.

Aledang – Jongno district

Located in the middle of the village area thingy right outside our hotel. Small narrow streets with small shops and lots of restaurants, is Aledang, with tons of craft beer on tap.

We decided to do a beer stop here, the clock is -after all- way! past 12 oclock.

the sampler, of course.. the guy all the way to the left.. a LIME pilsner, pretty nice!

The bare is the same as with lots of the shops and restaurants in this area, with a large outside area when you get into the bar itself – feels secluded and quiet. Supernice with glass roof and the sun shining.

Beside the tasters, flight, we had to try the cherry goese.. suppa nice!.. We didnt order food – but it looked like the pasta was pretty good.

They had some 50-60s music playing jazzy stuff.. They could have turned it down a notch.. or Im just getting old 😀

the prices aint to bad either, we thought it was going to be a bit more pricey. Also the weather – its starting to feel like a Norwegian summer.. without the rain 🙂

Gwangjang market

Its sunday, and a perfect day to eat our way throgh the street food of Korea. This maket has a lot of traditional korean food, all made fresh right there. Everything was amazing, and super cheap. It’s a place were locals and tourists dine togheter side by side, communicating with the simplest english and korean.

Lillestrøm-Seoul

24 hours of travel and we arrived in Seoul. The trip went problemfree and we were giddy with hapiness to finelly roam the streets of Seoul.

11 Hours flight to Bangkok, and then 5-6 Hours flight to Seoul. And then an short hour by taxi to Jongno Makers X Pretty Hotel.

6 degrees and pouring rain – it was like being back at Gardermoen 🙂

And what luck . Almost as if it was planned (!?). 100 meters from the hotel there is a microbrew craft beer pub. Roo Craft !

Great beers, besides the pale ale.. that was a bit weird, weisen was a winner. And chips made from cassias, or something like that.

We even got to try some Korean bbq before jetlag got us
