On our way back to our hotel we wandered around Shibuya looking for something to eat. Eventually we settled on Takoyaki たこ焼き . Takoyaki is a snack made with diced octopus and a flour ball. The guys working were pretty friendly and talkative. Sadly we didn't get to enjoy the takoyaki at it's best since [...]

Chef’s Kitchen カレー厨房
One of the only things I really wanted to do in Akihabara was eat some cheap curry bread. I spent hours looking for some place the internet kept saying was right next to the station but it wasn't. Turns out that it had shut down or switched names and in it's place popped up Chef's [...]
Gasuto ガスト
My friend had to be up for work and gone by 6am and since I didn't want to miss out on breakfast I got up with her. We walked a couple blocks towards the station to a Gasuto ガスト. It's a chain restaurant, a bit like a Japanese Denny's (as my friend said). Sometimes the restaurant [...]
강호동 백정 BBQ
One of the things that's intimidating about Korea if you're a solo traveler is eating places on your own. It's not really that common for people to eat by themselves in Korea so sometimes you have to put off places you want to try out until you've got someone to go with. While I was visiting [...]
Coffine Gurunaru
Coffine Gurunaru is a coffee house chain in South Korea that serves coffee and wine which is where it gets it's name (Coff-Coffee ine-wine) I went in for a drink and ended up being enticed by their petite snow oreo that is like patbingsu (팥빙수). Last time I had patbingsu it was too big for me and [...]
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 [...]
Janny Crepe House
After a really disappointing dinner, I was still relatively hungry. We decided to find a popular cafe that was on our (long) list of cafes. But we ended up circling the area a couple times and were unable to find it. Since we couldn't find it I opted for going back to the hostel and [...]
Panasia
While flipping through an English brochure on my first day of vacation in Seoul at the hostel I saw something that grabbed my attention, buckets of Thai iced tea. I love Thai iced tea and luckily so did my friend. Panasia is located near the H&M on Garosugil in Sinsa-dong and on our first night of [...]
Zoo Coffee
While trying to find our way around we got lost over our vacation, a lot. But that happens because like any city things are always changing and things can easily disappear and be replaced when you're not paying attention. I'd also been warned not to rely too heavily on Google maps, because since Korea has it's [...]
Caffé Bene
For dinner on our first night of vacation I found a fun looking restaurant that served Thai iced tea in buckets, but we went in the wrong direction and couldn't find it. So we had to find some place quick and ended up at Caffé Bene. It was exciting to me because I'd never seen [...]
