Hanokstay, at All-J Guesthouse in Seoul.

If you like to see a glimpse of a traditional way of living, you can do a hanokstay. South Korea has
several possibilities. We tried two so far.
The All-J Guesthouse in Seoul is situated in Insadong. The house is built in 1930. The owners renovated the rooms, but you wil sit and sleep in the traditional way. At first glance we thought that the bathroom was to small, but we managed to shower and keep all our belongings dry.
The owners are really nice people and it's seems more real then the one which is just new built in a garden. The only real feel is to sleep on the floor, but at this one we had breakfast with the owner.
Door to the room















Directions: with subway to Jongno 3-ga, exit 4. Go to the other side of the road, at your right hand you have a restaurant and left side they sell furniture (chairs). You have to walk in that gil, turn the
first gil to the right and take the one to the left with the roses. It's not possible to reach by car.
With taxi, leave the car at exit 4 from the subway.
Telephone number: + 82.70.7533.8626 or +82.10.8156.8626

Camera repair and cleaning in Seoul


If you have a camera which needs to be cleaned or repaired, there is a good address to go in Seoul. Nearby the Namdaemun gate, there are many shops selling second hand and new cameras and all the supplies. Above one of those stores, there is a repairshop and they did a wonderful job to my camera and not working autofocus lens. After two hours my lens (objective) was repaired.
They cleaned my camera (body) and called it service!
Tel. 02-777-6098.
Take the stairs, under the red sign,  and after a few steps go to the left staircase, and at the third floor you will see the "shop" at your left hand side.

Along this street there are many shops with good products. So far we are pleased with the "new" second hand camera and objective.

Directions: Namdaemun gate at your right hand side, and also the market. The "camera shop street" is at the left.
Opposite at a corner you see a KB-bank branche.
