Exploring Jeonju Hanok Village and Jeonju Hyanggyo with my friends in 2018

My friends and I came to Jeonju as one of their mom's lives in Jeonju and spent 3 days. This city was one of the few spots I actually did not plan anything and went along with my friend's mom's recommendations and wherever she took us, thanks Mrs. Ohm! I was able to see traditional Korean architecture, experience nature in the mountains, and watched a traditional live performance. In Jeonju, we also peeked into a PC cafe and did karaoke!

The Eats

In Jeonju, I tried some Korean delicacies like "live" octopus (sannakji - 산낙지) and fermented skate fish (hongeohoe - 홍어회). I also had Jeonju bibimbap (비빔밥), cold chewy noodles (naengmyeon - 냉면), soft tofu stew (soondubu jjigae - 순두부찌개), desserts, and various street foods! As my friend's mom took us to these places, sadly I'm not sure what the names of the restaurants are.
