From our friends at SeoulEats.com, a photoblog of Junju, the big southern heart of Korea.

4 old and new friends (www.hoyacooks.com).

36 hours of glorious food!

Part 1. Hanok Village and coffee houses a old and new.

Hanok (한옥) The traditional homes of Korea.
We stayed at the Hanok Village (한옥마을) in Junju.

It’s a village made for tourist, but that also makes it very well kept and gorgeous to photograph.
