Default Down and Out at The Old Tea House.

Just got back from a trip to Seoul and our favorite Tea House in Insa Dong.
The tea shop is about 25 years old and a wonderful place to sit and have a cup of your favorite Korean tea.
The unique thing about the Old Tea House is that Finches fly around everywhere inside, so you have to keep your cup covered if you don't want any extras in your tea. l.o.l

Thanks for looking and have a Blessed Day!

These are great and is that your lovely wife.
The tea shop looks fascinating, I assume we go upstairs to what looks like a customer seating area and we have rooftop views. I have never tried Korean tea, a bit stuck in my ways with PG tips I'm afraid. I'm not certain I would care to share my afternoon tea with finches flying around doing what finches do, but what a great place to visit and where are going next week Michael

Hi Steve! Yes it's my Lovely Bride, complete with shopping bags galore! Korean Red Ginsing tea is really a Great pick me up. But they have many other types as well. The Area is called Insa Dong and it's a favorite shopping area, catering to the artsy crowd.
Thanks for looking Steve!

Fantastic photos. I just love the first shot. It's great you got your wife to pose. If I point my camera at mine she disappears or turns away.

Those pictures are beautiful! I really love Asia. I'm glad to see that your wife will pose for you. My hubby hates his picture taken.

Hello Michael, thanks for sharing a part of your life with us. Tell your lovely wife hello for me. The furniture looks exotic especially the old style fan in the third shot.

It's so nice to see pictures like these...of scenes many of us are unlikely to see for ourselves. Very nice captures indeed...thanks for sharing once again.
