Day 4: Boutique Hanok Guesthouse - Rakkojae 락고재

We wanted a glimpse into traditional Korean living. What better way than to check into Rakkojae, a boutique hanok guesthouse. We seemed to have travelled back in time. :)

This would be our "home" for two days. :)

There isn't much reception area to speak of. But it was lovely nonetheless.

Everyone, except Beanie was thrilled. :D He much prefers modern hotels...Dad can be real boring at times. Anyway it was a marvellous experience.

Take a peep into our bedroom

Our bathroom with modern fixtures

and the dining room where we savoured home cooked meals. :)
