Modern meets Traditional in 삼청동 [Samcheong-dong]

Now that the weather is getting nicer, I've been doing my best to get outside as much as possible on the weekends. After watching some hockey with friends, Alyssa, Ryan & I headed out to 삼청동 to meet Erik. We tracked down a little tea house, but the wait to get in was pretty long, so we just wandered around and had a few beers. It was just nice to walk around and enjoy the sun.

( We finally found the tea house after I got us quite lost. Once we arrived, Erik really had to pee. He wasn't terribly happy with my guidance. )
