Insadong and the Old Tea Shop

We decided to take Brandon to our favourite Tea Shop in Insadong. Not only is it a quaint and cosy place but it has little birds that fly around inside the shop. They sell a variety of Korean teas: plum tea, ginger tea, jujube tea, and a whole lot more. I had cinnamon tea and Brad had citron tea which tasted like marmalade (in fact, I think it is marmalade added to hot water). Brandon was enthralled with the birds; he was absolutely quiet for the first 20 minutes as he stared at the birds fluttering around us.
Thumbing a ride to Insadong

Brandon loved the taxi ride - he's not used to facing forwards in the car and he was loving the new perspective.

You know it's getting cold when the racks of scarves hit the pavement.


A quaint little shop. Brad is shopping for an ornamental Dragon, he's been wanting one since we arrived in Seoul.

Our little guy couldn't take his eyes off the birds
