My Trip to Mun Kyeong, Jung Won University and Seoul

Record timing for another post. So I decided to combine some of my trips into one post to save some time for me and my loyal viewers =D So today on our tour, we will be visiting Mun Kyeong, Jung Won University and one part of Seoul.

First on the tour is Mun Kyeong. Now to you this is just any other ordinary shigol town, and it is to me too...but with one difference. This is my dad's hometown; where it all started.

And this small restaurant used to be my dad's house. Now it's a small restaurant that specializes in 보신탕 (Dog Meat Stew).
So this grandma (the owner) comes out. And I wonder who she is. She sees me taking pictures. I grow more curious. She then starts to yell at me. I become startled and frightened. My aunt explained the situation. She welcomed us in to have some 보신탕, but 'had no time' to stay.

Next on the tour is Jung Won Hotel...I mean university. This is an understandable mistake and you will soon understand as well.
Entrance to the outdoor swimming pool.
Outdoor swimming pool.
A small pond area.







And I didn't even take pictures of the golf course.

Last on the tour is Seoul.
동대문 to be exact.
A park.

That man wouldn't leave so he's in the picture...but it looks more authentic this way.

Saw these guys wearing those cool outfits for no apparent reason.

And apparently there was a reason.


A nice little shopping complex.
Inside of a coffee shop.
The interior design was something different. The tables at hand written notes from I'm guessing past customers.


These 호떡 were really good but really hot.
And I know this is nothing special, but it was nice to see.

Again, hope you enjoyed this post and that I didn't make any fobbish mistakes.
