La Boîte Black Label is a gold French bakery/cafe in Gangnam. Mika took me to it to just sit and relax and enjoy the photography friendly atmosphere. La Boîte (The box) is a two-story cafe with beautiful cakes and macaroons and a nice drink menu. I ordered one of the fruit teas, a peppermint lemon tea [...]
After breakfast where we said hello and goodbye to some of the people on tour we went out to run errands. We looked at the nearby souvenir shops, people who needed passport photos had their photos taken. I sat on the steps of a camera shop and wrote postcards to send home and then ducked [...]
All That Sweets is a bakery in Seoul just a short walk from Namseong station exit one. I do not think I've seen a cuter bakery. The shop is small and cozy with limited seating and somewhat limited hours. They are open from 11am-6pm Wednesday through Saturday and closed on the other days of the week. [...]
When we'd been searching for the bbq road we walked past a Tarte and Tea room and decided to go after dinner. Surprisingly we didn't end up with any tea, choosing instead to try some of their specialty drinks, like rose ade and a chocolate cereal milkshake called Choco Crush. I also got a chocolate [...]
While talking to my friend about things I wanted to do when I visited I mentioned going to an Owl cafe. My friend made reservations and we arrived early to check in before being told to leave and come back at our alloted time. Which was fine, we walked around the packed Harujuku streets and [...]
Underneath Futakoshinchi station is a small restaurant/cafe called Kohikan. It is outside of the East exit. Ezzy and I went there for a quick breakfast before I was to head into Tokyo for a tour. I ordered pancakes with strawberries. They weren't the best pancakes in the world, a little crunch on the outside and the [...]
Emily and I really wanted to sit and enjoy a cafe along the way to the Imperial Palace, partially for wifi. I was armed with my parasol but the air was just heavy and hot so as soon as we saw Runoa which had a sign saying free wifi we hurried in to look at [...]
After dinner we started the mandatory 노래방 (noribang) or karaoke. I don't mind singing, by myself or with friends, but I don't like standing up in front of people with a microphone and singing. There's no avoiding it though, when your boss takes you by the hand up 3 flights of stairs to the room the [...]
Usually after work dinners we go out to a cafe. Our work nights out can be rather long, with about 3 hours at dinner and an additional couple at a cafe afterwards. After having jokbal for dinner we walked to a little cafe nearby. We took up the entire back of the cafe next to a huge [...]
My first full day in Daegu was exhausting. Mostly because we spent the entire day downtown shopping. Summer has snuck up on me and I've begun to look a bit like a cartoon character. With a limited wardrobe and wearing the same thing every week. It helps that my friend loves shopping so she had [...]
