It was cold today after heavy snow yesterday in Seoul. The snow had turned to grey slush, so it was not that pleasant to walk around the city.
Anyway, I went for a short walk to a district of Insa-dong(인사동 in Korean) to get some fresh air after lunch. It is 15 to 20 minutes walk from my workplace. As a matter of fact, I just got to the edge of the district because of the limited time.
Insa-dong is known as a center of Korean art with many galleries and antique shops. It is a hot spot for foreign tourists for its historic features and traditional Korean foods.
There are also many tea houses where one can taste Korean-style tea and desserts. I had a cup of chrysanthemum tea in one of those tea houses. My colleague ordered jujube tea with pine nuts in it. They were hot enough to get us warm and heading back to our work!
