Insadong...a nice tourist trap
I think these are monks marching down the street (correct me if I'm wrong):

Sex sells, and that is also the case in Korea. Here, product models are dressed up handing out plastic fans to every person on the street:

Here, they strike a pose for a photographer. I happened to be there. No, I did not purchase their Vitamin C supplement drink:

Walking to the top of an outdoor market:

View from the top:

Korean couples love to dress the same..."we're in love":

Delicious street food:

Insadong Culture Plaza

Look at the bamboo...it's beautiful:

Proclaimation of Korean Independence (this is inside a park):



Lots of people were here relaxing on a Sunday afternoon:

Some Korean seniors:

A fish pond:

A misc. flower macro shot:

Here is the 12m high pagoda from 1467, but restored in 1947:

This guy really wanted our picture...so we let him take one of us (notice the squat):

Here, I attempt to recreate the infamous "Asia squat"...it's like sitting down, but without a chair and not on the floor!

Ok, this picture is priceless. No, this fellow is not possessed; no, Devante did not beat him up; he is taking a nap and I happened to be there to capture this Kodak moment (maybe that position is good for his back):

More from Insadong here: a traditional tea house and more interesting sights
