Day 2 Insadong: Ssamzie-gil, Miss Lee Cafe
I like Insadong Street. The sights, the sounds and the smells... ahhh, it is a great place to be in on a friday afternoon. There are numerous souvenir shops so i'll probably be heading back to do last-minute shopping. Shops selling antiques nestle comfortably along the streets. There are also a number of shops selling women's clothing. As for cafes and restaurants, let's just say they can be found with a turn of the head.
Alleys branching out from the main street are home to many restaurants as well.

I headed over to Ssamzie-gil, another tourist hotspot. Ssamzie-gil is a melting pot of everything cute, quirky and traditional. The crafts are mostly handmade by the designers and the stuff sold in some shops are exquisite and unique. There is a workshop situated at the basement which offers on-the-spot courses whereby customers can choose to do a DIY mug or even bake a cake.

It is about 100m ahead of exit 6 of Anguk Station.
Walk straight along the pathway and when you arrive at the opening of Insadong street, it will be across the narrow road adjacent to the G25 convenience store.
