Korean Travels: Jeonju aka The land of Bibimbap

View of Jeonju from our coffee shop
(We lay on the heated floor for about 4 hours before facing the rain again)

A few weeks ago, some friends and I traveled down to Jeonju to experience the
Korean town renowned for its Bibimbap and Hanbok Village.

Hanbok Village

Although it rained for most of the trip, we had an amazing time in the quaint village.

Friends hiking in the rain.

There are lovely museums, quirky thrift shops and warm, welcoming coffee shops.

Although the souvenirs were beautiful, the prices were slightly more than in Insadong
(an area in Seoul known for Korean souvenir shopping).
The Jeonju trinkets do have a more authentic feel to them
and the craft markets are a must.

Travel Tip: If you are a foreigner you can sign up for a free weekend shuttle bus that leaves from Seoul.

If you're in Korea, Jeonju is a great way to get away from the city. 

Walk the beautiful cobbled streets that are surrounded by exquisite, traditional Korean houses nestled in huge green mountains,
and obviously eat some delicious Korean food while you're at it...
