We had buffet lunch on day 6 as well... But this time it was a bit different because this time was Chinese buffet according to our tour guide... All of us were really excited because we had not eaten Chinese food for the pass 5 days...

Once again to our disappointment the Chinese buffet was not something we had imagined... Far from it in fact... Just look at the picture and you will know why... Sushi in a Chinese restaurant??? Again we left disappointed!!!

To be comtinue...

First destination on day 6 was the 'National Folklore Museum'... The museum was established in 1924 by a Japanese... The museum had 3 exhibition halls which illustrate 'The History of Korean People' from pre-historic times to the end of the 'Joseon Dynasty in 1910, 'The Lifestyle of The Korean People' and 'The Lifecycle of a Korean from Birth to Death'...

Nicely decorated museum gift shop...
