It isn’t just Gangnam and Seongsu that have changed – Bukchon and Seochon are changing too.

Onion

So they’ve opened here as well..

Inside

It’s a seriously big place.

Damun

Looks like a pop-up store, and the makgeolli here is good.

Bakery cafe

This place is nicely done too, and yet something this good gets buried..

Fujishiro Seiji

An artist I like, and there’s a whole gallery devoted to their work. The world really has come a long way..

London Bagel Museum

The queue here is long too.. Well, I’ve been once already, so I don’t need to go back..

Salt House Deli

Salt House has come to Bukchon too..

And a bakery like this..

Things really have changed a lot..

Gwanghwamun

A plaza has appeared out front.

Yi Sang’s House

All sorts of places have opened in Seochon as well. The main driver of all this change is probably real estate, but it’s still exciting that something new keeps appearing.

Not sure what this place is, but..

It looked cool, so I took a photo.

Sky

Seochon scenery

Idle Moments used to be around here.

Hyoja Bakery’s corn bread

I bought one because people said it was good, and it is good. Easy to eat as a snack, I’d say. Not fancy, but the value for money is really nice.

Hyoja Bakery

Hyoja Babe

So many different places have opened that, well.. keeping up is impossible. I don’t know how long it will keep developing like this, but Seoul is definitely getting more interesting.
