Spent some time in Bukchon a couple weeks ago. Bukchon is located near Jongno 3 station and Kyongbuk Palace Station.

Street
Another Street
Japanese Ramen Place
(Across the street from the museum of chicken art)
The Ramen
Better then 81 ramen in Itewan in my opinion, still looking for Kitsune Ramen.
Cool House
Exterior Shot
Admission is 3,000 won if I remember right. Fairly small museum but worth it just to say I went to the Chicken Museum.
Old Church
Another Street Shot
And Another
Tax MuseumThis is located near the US Embassy and in the national tax office, just follow the signs.
Another small museum. About half of the museum is dedicated to distillation which was the interesting part for me. Admission is free.
Not just do the legal thing,
to do right thing!
Picture of a Ceramic Soju Still
Don't think I've ever seen ceramic stills before.
Here's the Real Thing
The Distillation Desplay
And here's a model of a modern distillery.
Recommend this one if you're in the area, it's a couple blocks away from
Kyobo book store
http://www.kyobobook.co.kr/index.laf so it might be something to do on the way to or from a trip to restock the library.
