Isabel, enjoying the freezing cold weather πŸ™‚

After our very hectic morning at the Secret Garden in Korea, (that would be in a whole new different post…Hehe!) we were excited to head out to lunch! Starving and tired from hill climbing, we chose the nearest Korean resto we could find πŸ™‚ Luckily, we entered this resto that served Bibimbap!Β  Just exactly what I wanted at that moment… RICE! HAHA! πŸ™‚

Before our trip, my friends would research on places to go to in Korea.Β  When they described Insadong-gil to me, I knew I would love it there…Β  Insadong-gil is the main road that leads to more alleys with specialty shops, art galleries and coffee places.
