For the long holiday weekend (4 days), I went with a friend to visit Paju. This is a big-ish city in the northern part of South Korea. Paju has a lot of things to do but we went with the sole purpose of visiting the Art Village. We really wanted to visit book city, which is where a majority of South Korea's books come from, but it was too far from our hotel. On the first day we went to the Art village and walked around, checking out cafes and museums. We only did one museum that day, the Modern Korean History museum. This museum was a replica of what Korea used to look like during the 1960's or 1970's. It was similar to a living history museum, without the actors. I really liked all of the random things and would highly suggest this museum because of all the memorabilia. Here are a lot of photos from the first day!
On the second day, we went back to the Art Village. We were on a mission to go into this cute modern art museum we saw on the first day, but they were closed. Which was a bummer but we had other plans as well. We went to an erotic art museum, which was so much fun and I will not show photos from that day because NO! We chilled with food and coffee for a while and then decided to go to the French village, a few kilometers away. La Provence, is made up to look like it is a small French village, but really it just felt like Korea's attempt at a French village. Everything was made for Korean's taste, which is fine, we are in Korea but it wasn't what Carolyn or I expected. All good though. It is a colorfully cute little village and good if you want to do some shopping. After the French village we decided to go to the Paju Outlets, to compare them to the Yeoju Outlets. They turned out to be very very similar to one another. In the end we decided to get some wine from the liquor store and people watch at the outlets. It was a great end to a wonderful time in Paju. I will probably go again when mom gets to Korea because I think she would really like it!
