Korean traditional houses are changed into western style building. But some houses keep their original style and use them as restaurants and cafes.

It was a real fine day. The village Seochon locates left of Kyungbokgung Palace where kings of Chosun Dynasty had lived. We moved through the narrow alleys of the traditional houses though some houses were changed into modern style buildings. Because the village locates near presidential residence, place, and governmental office buildings the village keeps being transformed into nice looking cafes, restaurants and galleries. We enjoyed the walking and sketching. Having lunch we went to Baehwa girls' middle, high school and college. Boys were playing football in the large playground. The campus was very beautiful with hundred years' brick buildings. Every time we find new shapes of the old villages. Thank you!
