Discovery of another Seoul - It was an experience to discover. Our guide was very kind, helpful and cultured. We learned a lot alongside him. We were impressed by the shaman who explained to us her journey that led her to be a shaman. An incredible woman! The shamanism museum was a must see as well as the Jogyesa temple. Our guide took us to the market to eat, we saw traditional hanok and the flea market where I bought some items that really made me happy. Enjoyed the stop in the district of medicinal herbs and...super relaxing herbal foot baths...I really recommend this visit...
