     In the morning, I and my mother went shopping in the Times Square. Fortunately, the rain has stopped since this morning ran. But the weather was chilly. And the wind blew strongly. The path is slippery with the rain. Despite chilly weather, many people were on the streets. We ate breakfast in the morning and left the house. While walking to the subway station, we talked about what to buy. We are listed shoes, clothes, bags, etc. And we decided to prioritize among them. First of all, we decided to buy shoes. Then we decided to go shopping for winter clothes.

     After riding the subway for 30 minutes, we arrived in Times Square. Since it was the weekend, there were many people on the subway than on weekdays. Likewise, the streets were crowded with people. And there were many cars on the street. First, we have gone to the shop that we can use the vouchers. Stores were listed winter clothes, winter shoes. Because it is winter season, the interior of the shop was similar to winters. Also some items in the store were similar to winter mood. The colors of all items were dark series like a black, brown. As we decided earlier, first we saw the shoes. Strangely, it was similar to the design of the product. Distress at the end of what to buy, I decided to buy black shoes. It has a good fit, did not hurt my feet. After buying shoes, I and my mother went to the store to buy her clothes. There were winter clothes. We saw winter jacket among clothes. My mother was considering the price and weight, etc. Then she bought a brown jacket at a reasonable price. After finishing all the shopping, we went to a restaurant to eat pork cutlet. The food was delicious. Today was a bit cold but great day.

     Last Tuesday, I went to Insadong with my friend. The weather was chilly. Despite the cold weather, the streets were crowded with people. I thought there were lots of foreigners, but Insadong was crawling with Koreans. Also I thought there would be less crowded on a weekday, but there were crowded with people enough not to move forward.

     Insadong is the place to look around antiques, art, ceramics and traditional clothing stores. And Insadong was once a residential area for palace officials, royal families, and yangban classes. So I and my friend planned to explore antique shops at first. There were many antique shops. We went to antique shops located in remote regions. That antique shop sells old books, old paintings, ceramics, woodenware, and many other items. That antique shop was full of rare and precious items. I saw a precious old book in that antique shop. The book cover was faded, but I felt antique beauty from that book. These places were calm, serene and tranquil. I felt that there was stability in the heart. We came from an antique shop, and went to tea museum. Tea museum was also located in remote regions. Tea museum was exhibited many tea, and sells various tea. There were many teas that I did not know. That places were also calm, quiet, and peaceful. We came from a tea museum, walked the streets. In the streets, many people sold the stuff of Korea traditional pattern. These stuffs were pencil case, wallet, clothing, stationery, and fan. My friend bought a pencil case that has a traditional pattern. We are hungry and went to a restaurant, and ate dolsot bibimbap. Tuesday was a very significant day.
