Korean traditions · Seoul moods · Cultural experiences
Seoul often feels fast and modern.
But traditional tea houses feel completely different.
Wooden floors.
Quiet music.
Warm tea slowly steaming beside windows overlooking old alleys.
One rainy afternoon in Insadong, I spent nearly two hours inside a tea house without checking my phone once.
Nobody seemed rushed.
That atmosphere felt rare in a city moving so quickly outside.
