Seoul Friendship Fair 2012

Today was the last day of the Seoul Friendship Fair. This annual event is a two-day event is to promote multi-cultural awareness in Korea. The venue is usually the same; tent booths from all the Embassies in Korea (where you can try on traditional costumes or buy crafts), food from each country, and mini performances throughout the day. It always takes place near Seoul Plaza, the street of Mugyo-dong and Cheonggyecheon.

What I loved about the Seoul Friendship Fair was that you get exposed to different ethnicity's, cultures, and languages without leaving Korea. The best part is the food! Korea is very much like Hawaii where you can find almost any type of food desired, but the tricky part is finding where you can buy/eat your desired food. But thanks to the Seoul Friendship Fair you can easily find food from any country!





Ya that's me!

Each tent has food from their own country
Most vendors had samples of their countries alcohol
