Here are some pictures from an art/culture area in the city. Insa-dong is home to many galleries, cafe's, traditional Korean craft shops, souvenirs and more. Notice the trees, even though this area is in the heart of the city. I also came across a demonstration. The man in costume is pounding out the "dough" to make a tradtional Korean sweet treat. It is a glutinous dough filled with a sweet mixture of, I think, honey, sugar and sesame seeds. This is a fun area to visit and shop. On weekends, the streets are closed off to cars and fill with pedestrians.
