Named the cultural street of Seoul, Insa-dong was a place I looked forward to visiting. They had many souvenirs and art supplies for sale. Most of the street is car-free so it was rather nice to walk freely.
A lot of the souvenir shops there sold the same items..., chopsticks and spoon sets, small pouches and wallets, magnets and keychains, hair accessories, small trinkets, and more. Once in a while you will see a more specialized store selling nicer but more expensive stuff like silk.

I visited a few art supply stores and bought a few fans. Some were made in Korea and a lot of them were made in China. They sold similar brushes and other tools as the ones I came across in Shanghai.
On this street we had separated so we could freely look at any items we want to buy. A lot of us were tired and had chosen to sit and wait at Starbucks. I was walking around with Miss Kiki for a while but by the time we reached the Ssamziegil mall she reached her limit and started asking to sit. In the end, I didn't get to see inside the mall and we went straight to Starbucks to join the others.
Miss Kiki saw hairpins in the stores and decided she wanted one, but couldn't decide which. We ended up not buying it that day but returned to Insadong on a different day for a quick purchase.
That evening we went to Lotte Mart at Seoul Station and had our dinner in the area.
