Adjacent to the Palace grounds is the historic Buckchon district – a very well preserved array of historic buildings along narrow walkways.
In the mix are modern stores and very cool cafés, plus the un-welcoming Saudi and Vietnamese embassies, the Ministry of Unification and what we in Canada would call the Auditor General’s Office. It is interesting that Germans say Re-Unification and Koreans Unification. Last but not least there is the Blue House, the Korean President’s executive office and official residence. A walking tour in this area is a must!
Blue House
YIDO Café – what an experience!
I meedeed a rest from all the walking and came across YIDO. It’s not just a café but also a creative paradise for potters.

I have travelled to 31 countries so far. What exploring means to me: Venture into the Yukon backcountry by snowmobile - arriving at spectacular vistas with my buddy; enjoying world cafés (non-franchise please!) and the interesting conversations that blossom there; collaborating with free spirits. I feel attracted to people who truly care and have a backbone. Accountability and life-long learning are important to me. Political correctness is not my thing.
My interests include all things aviation, the global economy, entrepreneurship, drumming (funky grooves!), winter photography and Korea. I’m passionate about mentoring and coaching others. I am tutoring professionals from around the globe in conversational German and English.
