On our last day in Seoul we stopped by a Japanese restaurant we'd been passing for days whenever we left our hostel. It's name in Korean is:오니기리와이규동 with "Handmade Rice Ball & Beef Over Rice" next to it, so I'm unsure if that's the name or a description of the restaurant or both. I ordered [...]
Lotte World
On the last full day of vacation we headed to Lotte World late in the afternoon. Lotte World is an amusement park in Seoul. Even though it is an indoor amusement park put on some sunblock because there's an outdoor section as well. I didn't put any on, expecting to be inside the entire day [...]
Olympic Park: Peace Square
Olympic Park was one of the places suggested to me to go. It was built in 1988 when South Korea hosted the summer Olympics in Seoul. We really only had time to visit the world peace square. There is a lot more to do in the park that we didn't have time for. There's a [...]
Machebette Cafe
On our first night in Seoul while walking back from the movies and Zoo Coffee we noticed how dead everything was at 3 am (like most places). Yet since we were in Seoul, specifically near Gangam there would be bubbles we'd pack just packed with people. One of the places we passed was Machebette Cafe. I pointed [...]
Dog Factory 강아지팩토리
Our fourth day of vacation I was super excited. We only had one big thing on the docket, and as far as I had understood that was the only thing we had planned all day. But I was mistaken, I had forgotten that on our list of things to do was about 20+ different cafes. [...]
Southside Parlor
Since we were going to be in Seoul over night during our vacation I was really excited because we could go to places I normally can't, like a bar. I'm not a huge fan of bars back in the US. I go to chat with friends and I can never hear them over the music [...]
Happy Lemon
After a lot of walking and being lost I popped into a Happy Lemon for tea, but ended up instead ordering off their lemon series menu. I ordered a lemon and mango drink that tasted a bit like a slushy lemonade with chunks of mango in it. They also serve salted cheese flavors so I'd [...]
Myeong-dong Tourist Information Center
While trying to find a nearby landmark my friend and I stumbled upon the Myeong-dong Tourist Information center and it was perfect. I bought postcards, probably the cutest I've ever seen and stamps. My friend got directions while I was filling out a postcard to send home when one of the workers came over to tell me [...]
KLive hologram concert (케이라이브)
On the top floor of Lotte Fitin is KLive. KLive is the worlds first K-pop hologram concert. My friend booked our tickets online and we ran up to the top floor of the mall thinking we were late only to find we were an hour early. So we had plenty of time to kill and [...]
Angel in Us Coffee
On our third day of vacation we had one big thing planned at Lotte Fitin mall. There was only a half hour before we'd have to run to the event but I was hungry so while my friend ran off to get tickets I ordered a plain bagel at Angel in Us Coffee. Angel in [...]
