Some traditional Korean experience in Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul.

Traditional Korean house. 

Stranded in the rain :( 

My parents :) 

 Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace , Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shire , Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses called "hanok" that date back to the Joseon Dynasty. Unfortunately for us , it was pouring when we reached the village leaving us stranded many times under shelters of the hanoks and also not be able to explore the entire village. Nevertheless , walking through the village gives you a going-back-in-time feeling as the houses there , as mentioned above , are very old and traditional. My parents and I appreciated the architecture of the hanoks. Many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers , guesthouses , restaurants and tea houses providing an opportunity to experience , learn and immerse in traditional Korean culture and we certainly did enjoyed that experience of a different culture. :)
