Jeonju Day Trip

After a brief trip to Jeonju with Neil's parents in November, I really wanted to come back! Since we have a few days off for the new year, we made a point to go back there for their fresh bibimbap. I googled to find any place that's super famous and Gogung came up and that was it. After arriving in Jeonju, we hailed a cab to bring us to the restaurant. Probably waited a few minutes before we were seated. 

I chose the normal metal bowl and Neil got the stone bowl one. The colours were amazing and so vibrant. I love that it doesn't need to have onions in it and it's still okay. I love the texture of the dish that there's crunchy and soft in the same bite. Neil really enjoyed his dish. He liked that it wasn't spicy like most Korean food are.

Next we went back to the Hanok Village and walked around to get some snacks. I got some deep fried squid. I had hoped that since it's a Friday that it won't be busy but it was still super packed. After getting my snack, I was too full for anything else so we decided to walk around. I saw PNB and it was not packed like the other one! They're suppose to be famous for their chocolate pies. Neil wasn't interested but I got one chocolate and one white to see what it's all about. It was quite large so it was very fulling. I actually didn't try it until I got home since I was already full. It's pretty good but I would not line up for an hour for it. 

When we got back to the bus terminal, we found out the next bus to Gwangju isn't until 7:20pm and it was currently 5:00pm. We got approached by a taxi driver who offered to take us to Gwangju for 50,000 won if he can find two more people. In the end he could only find one more person and asked us to pay for 70,000 and we can leave right away. In the end we took that offer because we'll get back home quicker and we'll be more comfortable if it's just the two of us in the back. The driver was nice and it took us only an hour to get back compared to an hour and a half. He also dropped us off a lot closer to our home than the bus would have. It cost us a lot more to take this taxi but in the end it's worth it.
