Insadong...traditional korean shopping area

After shopping in this really cool area we wer hungry and decided to find a restaurant to eat lunch. You don't get much more traditional than this. We were walking through some really tiny alleys that I would have never gone by myself. I was just following my students. While walking I spotted some fish heads hanging and greens drying outside one of the restaurants to be used later in soups and stews. When we got to our restaurant I had to ask if this was it, because it seemed like someones house and we were entering her kitchen. Apparently people do this all the time, open their houses for this kind of thing. I was hoping that it was at least not going to make me sick. It actually turned out to be a very delicious meal, we had lots of side dishes, and all was well. Another interesting day in Korea.
