First stop was the Toilet Museum, and we had the most difficult time getting there. We misunderstood the guy at the front desk so took the bus line in the opposite direction and ended up at a bus depot at the end of the line. When we finally turned around and got to the right stop, we had no idea where the museum was. But a nice barista at a nearby coffee shop directed us and we finally made it.
For a museum dedicated to defecation, the toilet museum was impressively cute. They had a little turd character mascot and plenty of statues of people defecating. Leave it to Korea to make poop adorable...
Lunch was an amazing plate of fried chicken from "Chicken Street" in Suwon.
Then we took a tour of the Hwaseong Fortress, built in 1796 by a king in the Joseon Dynasty. We walked around the palace then up to a lookout point on top of a hill and got a good view of the city. Parts of the city of Suwon are built within the fortress walls.
We took a dragon-shaped trolley ride around part of the fortress walls. I grabbed a bungeoppang, a fish shaped waffle filled with bean paste, and we head out to AK Plaza, the huge mall here, for dinner.
We amused ourselves walking around the mall and grabbed some (spicy) ramen bowls for dinner before calling it a night.
