piccies from Seoul... Spring 2011 [part 1]

So i finally got round to getting all those photos we took with the sisters cameras, onto my computer.

Time to group 'em all together.

Massive work in order :p

But here's a few quick piccies from our short trip to check out one of our fav' foods :) KIMCHI!

The Kimchi Field Museum @COEX

About 8 different varieties of Kimchi were available for sampling in The Tasting Room when we visited

So very many different kinds of Kimchi!!!

Some of which we've never seen before here in SG. Like this "White Kimchi" (which wasn't the least bit spicy. it was more... salty! i didn't like this one.)

This one wasn't available for sampling :p Kimchi made of... baby carrots???

The Museum's a lovely little place to check out. Makes for a nice change from everything else you get at COEX - the shops!!!
I think it's a great place to bring the kids too!
We walked into a small group of pre-schoolers having some storytelling session in the Museum.
There's also a section of the Museum dedicated to educating the public on everything Kimchi - the origins, the benefits of consuming kimchi, the making of kimchi, the equivalent of kimchi elsewhere in the World...... and in cute piccies too! Perfect for keeping children interested and occupied.

See? The Italian's kimchi "equivalent" ---> Olives!

The Museum didn't take us very long to cover really. I'll say 90mins was more than enough? It was a nice way to spend my lunch break during work that weekend @ COEX.

Now, on to part 2 of the trip.
