Return to O'sulloc Tea Plantation

O'sulloc green tea plantation is a five minute bike ride from school, so it's easy to travel there when we have a bit of free time. We had a small meal at the cafe and then did the touristy thing and posed for a bunch of pictures in front of the giant, teacup-shaped bush. The weather was relatively warm and it was a pleasant outing.

Seoul 6 - Hanbok

Instead of going to visit yet another temple, Reesha and I opted to go to the Bukchon Hanok village, a replica of an old traditional Korean village. I had been to the village before on a previous trip to Seoul, so I knew it'd be a prime (and cheap) place to try on Hanbok (Korean traditional dress) and take pictures. 

We were SO out of place in the hanbok, but whatever, so worth it:

The village is set up for tourists, and to teach about Korean culture, so there was a lot going on outside including these guys making mats from straw, a taekwondo performance, and calligraphy practice. In general a really nice and peaceful place. Wish we had longer there but we arrived pretty late in the day and decided to head out early.
