Some of the others had already visited an area called Dongdaemun which is known for its unusual architecture, especially that of the organic and spirally-shaped <a href=\"https:\/\/english.visitkorea.or.kr\/enu\/ATR\/SI_EN_3_6.jsp?cid=2419333\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Design Plaza in Dongdaemun<\/a>&#8216;s fashion town. I didn&#8217;t arrive in Dongdaemun until almost 9:30 pm. The majority of businesses and restaurants were closed or closing since it was late in the evening, but I thoroughly enjoyed walking around and enjoying the mesmerizing views. The design plaza was one of my favorite architectural experiences in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20190802_452-277x600.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"277\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20190802_452-277x600.jpg?resize=277%2C600\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7352\" data-link=\"http:\/\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=7352\" class=\"wp-image-7352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20190802_452.jpg?resize=277%2C600&amp;ssl=1 277w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20190802_452.jpg?resize=185%2C400&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20190802_452.jpg?resize=92%2C200&amp;ssl=1 92w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20190802_452.jpg?w=554&amp;ssl=1 554w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Going on an adventure.

The staff was super nice even though I didn\u2019t understand a thing they said. The guy that took my order tried to make sure I knew what I was ordering since I couldn\u2019t understand the menu. He used his phone to try to translate but the translation said chicken sand bag. I didn\u2019t understand so I gave the thumbs up. I think my dish was chicken gizzards. It wasn\u2019t bad just super chewy. The peppers in the dish bothered me more than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
