Seoul Tips?

Image

I'm heading off to Seoul for a work visit next month, and wondered if you have any tips? Things to do and see while I'm there? I've been bookmarking a few sites, but would love your thoughts.

The Art Project

Internet, have you seen what you can do, lately? Have a look at this incredible new project for art lovers (and tech geeks, too, I suppose). You can, from the luxury of your desktop, stroll through 17 of the major galleries of the world. And on some paintings, even zoom up close to see unbelieveable detail. Check it out here: be warned, it's a time sink!

My incredibly talented friend Al has started her own blog! Her illustrations and recipes are so charming - trust me, blogland: this woman is not only just delightful, but immensely clever with art and design. Follow her immediately for lots of afternoon tea love!

Barambah amazing yoghurt! Blueberry was recommended as the 'gateway' flavour (! I love the idea of a flavour gateway!) and then cherry was also highly recommended too.

Sushieze, for perfect neat round nori rolls

Gertrude & Alice in Bondi for second hand books, great coffee and good food (they buy books, too).
