We stopped by the COEX Mall for lunch. This underground shopping mall is the largest in Asia, there's a Kimchi Field Museum inside which you might want to visit if you're interested in kimchi.






Lunch at this cafe called Mix &amp; Bake, look at the menu! Chicken Nasigoreng! I admit I ordered coz it says nasi goreng instead of fried rice. Haha... I'm so patriotic.

The fourth day of our journey was a relaxing one. Our main target was to catch the 2:30pm English tour guide for Changdeok Palace's Secret Garden. So for the morning, we decided to go to Bongeunsa Temple, which is not too far away.



On the way, we saw this waiting area pavilion with lots of lighting gear on top. My first thought: Concert!!
