Samcheong-dong (삼청동)

Samcheong-dong (삼청동) is another nice area to walk around in Seoul. After walking down the step stairs of  those traditional korean houses in Bukchon village, I found myself in a very stylist area with European looking cafes, restaurants, wine bars, art galleries, small boutiques and accessory shops.

This is a restaurant coverted from a Hanok (traditional Korean house). There’s quite a few of  these interesting blend of old & new architecture along the way.

You’ll also find cafes and restaurants up in narrow alleys like this.

A figure in front of  TOYKINO Museum. TOYKINO has an impressive collection of American toys and action figures. I did not go in coz’ it was very crowded when I was there. Anyway, if you’re interested, take a peep at TOYKINO’s toy collection over here >> (Written by a Korean blogger)

p/s: I love their Simpson collection!

Samcheong dong reminds me of Daikanyama（代官山） in Tokyo. A quiet residential area with small little cafes and boutiques here and there.

p/s: It’s horribly cold here in Tokyo these few days. I caught the flu bug.

I hope all of you are enjoying your weekend.
