Insadong and National Musuem

Insadong is an area of Seoul which has arts, crafts and antiques for sale. The main street is a mall and is always packed with people. It's popular with tourists and Koreans alike. We stay in a hotel just off the main street which was discovered by a friend and fellow EPIK teacher, Megan. It's cheap, clean and very handy. Not far away is a very good Indian restaurant too!!!!! These lanterns have been put up for Buddha's birthday.
This particular weekend we were in Seoul another good friend and EPIK teacher, Adrienne and we all decided it was about time we visited the National Museum.
This curiosity is a large "jar" coffin.



Love this!
