Day 2: Dongdaemun Plaza

The second site visit was to the DDP and to try a local Dongdaemun tteokbokki restaurant. We really loved the tteokbokki and enjoyed the experience of watching it cook in front of us. At the DDP, we walked around an interestingly shaped building. It had long, white hallways, which I actually found quite refreshing. It's a bit calming after seeing colorful, busy artwork. I think it was meant to make you feel more grounded and present in the moment. Afterward, we went to a part of the DDP with more beauty-related experiences. I sat in front of an AI-powered mirror, which told me my face shape and suggested flattering makeup and haircuts. I then walked over to the skin analysis device, where you used a small, close-up infrared camera to take a close look at the skin. Based on what the camera saw, it told you your skin type and your skin problems. It then suggested skincare for your skin type.

There were also advanced massage devices for your forehead, neck, and legs. I did not like how they felt... After everything we tried Mom's Touch. It was pretty good, but super cheesy!!
