Seoul Spring '17 - Ep. 10.1 - Cherry Blossom Afternoon
Travel Vlog
After our moms flew back home, we checked-out of our Airbnb and moved to my friends' apartment to stay for the rest of the trip. We took the taxi because we were both too tired to lug around our suitcases and take the bus. Mar looked like she’s ready to pass out after cleaning up our Airbnb and packed up our stuff and it’s not even lunch time yet. After we settled in our new lodging, we legit just laid down on the floor for a good half hour before slowly starting to unpack some of our stuff.
My friends, Deokchun oppa and Eungyo unnie, welcomed us by taking us to lunch at one of the local restaurants nearby called 봉평메밀촌. They ordered perilla buckwheat noodle (들깨 메밀 칼국수), buckwheat bibim makguksu (메밀 비빔 막국수), and buckwheat dumpling (메밀왕만두) for us to share. I think this was my first time having perilla buckwheat noodle and the texture of the dish is very interesting. Everything was delicious and we were stuffed by the end of the meal.
Afterwards, we decided to walk around for a bit and see the cherry blossom that were in full bloom around the neighborhood. There were lots of ahjummas and ahjussis wearing very colorful exercise jackets walking around too, getting their exercise for day so it seemed. We saw a couple of them on the exercise equipments that were placed around the park so we decided to give them a try too. A couple of them were foreign to me and Mar so my friends taught us how to use them. We didn’t exercise for too long, but it was still pretty fun trying new things.
