A Night Walk in Seoul

We took a night walk in Seoul on our first night there. After two weeks in Japan, South Korea was now our new home for the near future.

We decided to go explore the street by night and get some food at the famous street market, known as Myeong-dong Street Market.

First, this city is amazing for shopping with great shops everywhere, and the city is very easy to walk around. Make sure to leave some extra room in your suitcase!

On the way we saw a really old temple lit by thousands of lights, this was a Buddhist temple with brightly colored lanterns.

From mid-April through mid-May, Korea gets decked out with colorful lanterns to celebrate Buddha's birthday on May 5th. During the celebration, you can see the lanterns hung up in many areas of Seoul throughout the streets, but especially at the Buddhist temples.

After this little break, we finally arrived at Myeong-dong Street Market.

Shrimp on a stick

The first food that we tried was grilled shrimp on a stick, grilled with a blow torch, and was so delicious and juicy! We definitely recommend those, as well as the tornado potato.

The "tornado potato"

Something to know is that here in Korea people love cheese, and you can find food with cheese everywhere!

And, saving the best for last, a churro made with crushed Oreos. I’ve never seen this anywhere else before, but it was delicious!

Oreo... Churro!?
