Exploring Daegu in korean heels.

Okay, so today I wanted to do a lot of shopping and a bit of sightseeing in Daegu.Daegu is so beautiful since it has a lot of parks and temples located in the city.It's more quiet than Seoul and the people here are curious in a good way.
Many people try to talk to us in korean or with the little bit of english that they know.

As you can see.. I'm a fan of Daegu.
My KBF lives here ( Korean best friend), Jinjoo!

Downtown daegu has this extremely large underground mall with a lot of cool stores.I wanted shoes with a lot of straps.So I bought them for 37000 won (28 euro?) and the man said he gave me a discount.
Yeah right.
Somehow I feel like buying more shoes xD.
Oh these are the shoes I bought:



After I did some shopping we went to a one of Daegu's lovely parks.
Somehow I can't really remember which park it was, but it was a small memorial park.

 

Daegu National Museum and there was an exposition about korean marriage culture and traditions.

The room i liked best was about korean marriage clothing, hanboks for marriage.

The clothing looked so pretty!

It would be cool if people would still dress up for marriage like this in current life.
Marriage clothes for women.

Marriage clothes for men (the fancy one for government people)




These are the ''seven friends'' of the women that made the hanbok.
Women who were able to make these had them in their home.
Scissors, needle, thread, thimble, flatiron, and normal iron.

The huge headdresses korean women had to wear.
The bigger the headdress the prettier korean women were seen by society.


Since those big headdresses were way too heavy to use people made hairpins.
These hairpins replaced the headdresses after a while.

Here you can see how hanboks starting to get more western influences.
The shapes of the sleeves became more round and they changed the top part of the hanbok a bit.

Hanbok including the colors of the old korean flag when Korea was still 1 country without being divided in North and South.
Yellow, red and blue.

A miniature small village with hanoks.

Written stories by a famous korean writer written in hanja ( the old hangul still being influenced by the chinese characters ).

Miniature of a korean traditional wedding.
Look a at all the hanbok!
Okay this is not a korean dish at all but i've never eaten Kentucky fried chicken before so I really wanted to eat it.
The chicken was quite spicy and the burger was delicious.
It was quite good but I still really don't get what all the fuss is about.
Korean people probably avoid these since it has LOTS of calories.

So after eating we wanted to go to Daegu bank to see an exposition about old coins.
Currency used in the past and now and also coins from some other countries.
But.. it was closed.
So we have to go another day.





a beautiful traditional park in another park in Daegu.
I didn't see sign so i don't know the name but it could be that this is the other side of the park we visited earlier

More water!
More fountains!

After this we went home.
This is what I bought:
STUFF I BOUGHT.
The Block B album (the correct one), f(x) album, 2 puffy keychains, hair ribbon, sunglasses, nail polish, bag, grape slippers, ViVi magazine and a little mirror.

A delicious kiwi fruit blast from Baskin´ Robbins

So that's all for today!
Annyeonghi gyeseyo!
