I visited Gyeongbokgung Palace but unfortunately, it was closed on that day.

I visited this standing BBQ restaurant, which had a great atmosphere and delicious, tender galbi. The beer was also very clean and easy to drink.

I visited this famous bagel shop and tried the honey bagel, which was the best bagel I've ever had, especially with its delicious cheese filling. It's very popular, and I understand why there's a long line.

I visited Namdaemun Market on a rainy day, as it was covered. It was a 5-minute walk from the hotel, and I tried some Korean odeng. However, I didn't find anything specific to buy or eat, and after 30 minutes, I felt I had seen enough.

I visited Changdeokgung Palace, a Joseon Dynasty royal palace built after Gyeongbokgung, and observed its historical setting.

I visited the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, and spent about an hour enjoying the exhibits, though some modern art pieces were a bit hard to understand.

I exchanged 10,000 yen here.

I visited Dongdaemun Design Plaza, which had beautiful, wide lighting. However, I didn't find much to enjoy there, and it felt more like a resting area or a place for simple shopping, so I left quickly.

I stayed at this hotel, and its breakfast at Momo Cafe offered a wide variety of options.

I visited this popular salt bread cafe, which was in a cute building. The salt bread was crispy on the outside and very chewy on the inside, ranking as the best salt bread I've ever had.

I ordered kimbap easily in Japanese. It was very spicy but delicious, and I liked the long, thin kimbap with many ingredients.

I bought salt bread from this highly-rated specialty shop. It was still warm, sweet, and had a very crispy bottom due to the salt, feeling lighter than the one I had yesterday.

I visited The Spot Fabulous and tried their Basque cheesecake, which was incredibly moist, soft, and creamy – definitely the right choice. The desserts were also very cute.

I visited this popular restaurant known for yukhoe and raw liver. While the yukhoe had a good texture and taste, and the liver wasn't as fishy as expected, I felt it wasn't a must-try compared to Japanese versions, and the raw tripe was unappealing.
