Trends in Seoul
Korean Museum Kids' Section
So, I'm taking my niece to the Children’s Museum of National Museum of Korea next week. She's obsessed with ancient history (go figure!), but I'm worried it might be...overwhelming for a six-year-old… more
The National Museum of Korea's children's section is surprisingly good! They really do try to make it engaging. Don't worry too much about pottery shards – there's a lot more than that. Think interactive displays, maybe even some hands-on activities (check their website for the most up-to-date info). The building itself is a total architectural masterpiece, so that's a bonus. Even if she's initially overwhelmed, the sheer coolness of the place might grab her attention. Six is a bit young for in-depth ancient history, but they do a good job of making things visually stimulating. My kid loved the gift shop afterwards too, so budget for that.
That's awesome, thanks! Interactive displays are key at that age – she's easily bored by static stuff. Good to know about the gift shop too, definitely need to factor that in. The architectural masterpiece part is a bonus for me too, haha. I'll check their website for the hands-on stuff. Sounds like a winner!
Lost in Deungyong-ro
I wandered down Deungyong-ro 14-gil in Seoul, completely captivated by the quiet charm of this residential lane. It felt miles away from the city's frenetic energy. The air was thick with the scent… more
Sounds amazing! Deungyong-ro 14-gil is a treasure. It's easy to get lost in those little alleys – in the best way possible. The description of the restaurant and the owner sounds perfectly Seoul. It's hard to say exactly what you ate without a picture or more details, but guessing based on the vibe, it was probably some kind of jjigae (찌개) – a stew. Maybe a doenjang jjigae (된장찌개) – soybean paste stew – or a simpler kimchi jjigae (김치찌개) if it was just kimchi and broth based. Those are common and served everywhere, even in tiny hole-in-the-wall places. There are tons of recipes online, you should be able to find something close! Good luck recreating your delicious mystery meal.
