A.blick Cafe

June 21, 2015 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Seogyodong (서교동) neighborhood is one the neighborhoods that I usually go to if I want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hongdae. Feeling like drinking fresh juice on one of my outings with @inner.pastiche, we decided to check out A.blick (에이블릭), a cafe that sells detox juices. The place was pretty quite when we got there, only a couple of people were there—a guy working on his laptop and an older gentleman reading a book—while soft jazz music playing on the background. Went ahead and ordered their top two best selling juices, and they were delicious (and fresh). And the price wasn't that expensive compared to other places that sells detox juice. I think this place is perfect for studying or working. Plus, a glass of cold fresh juice sounds so good for a hot summer days like these days.

National Museum of Korea • 국립중앙박물관

국립중앙박물관 National Museum of Korea
June 17, 2015 by greysuitcase in Weekend, Seoul, South Korea

I got a chance to go visit National Museum of Korea (국립중앙박물관) during a school field trip. The complex is really huge. You have to walk across an open area before entering this big tall building. My first impression stepping into the museum was this place has a really nice natural lighting. High ceilings with windows really gives a nice soft lighting around the open area of the museums. For architecture fans, this place is worth a visit. Plus if you venture outside the museum, you can see the N Seoul Tower on the background.

Hana Okonomiyaki

June 12, 2015 by greysuitcase in Food, Seoul, South Korea

I'm starting this post with a little confession that I didn't know the name of this place until I was about to write this post. The main reason is this place is right around my neighborhood, passed this place like thousands of times, but never bothered to read the name of the place. I only knew this spot as 'that-okonomiyaki-place-that-always-have-people-lining-up-for-seats'. First I thought maybe because the place is pretty small, but after I finally had the chance to try this place, I can see why.

Hana Okonomiyaki (하나 오코노미야키 야키소바 a.k.a 신촌 하나) is located in Sinchon neighborhood, in between Sinchon Station and Ehwa Station. The place is famous for their okonomiyaki and yakisoba, and I asked my Japanese friends and they said the taste is pretty good and authentic. The price is also relatively not expensive, ranging from 7,000—9,000KRW. I let my friends ordered last time so I'm not exactly sure what we ordered, but everything was delicious. We even ordered seconds too. Tips: If you come here during dinner time, come early or you'll most likely will have to wait for seats. Go during lunch time since there's usually fewer people waiting in line.

Spring in Seoul: Kyunghee University (경희대학교) in Seoul, South Korea.

Kyunghee University • 경희대학교

경희대학교 Kyunghee University
May 27, 2015 by greysuitcase in Weekend, Seoul, South Korea

This year's spring was my first spring in Seoul. I remembered this particular day when I went to Kyunghee University (경희대학교) with Ken was one of the first warm days in Seoul at the end of winter. Everybody seemed to want to enjoy the warmer weather while looking at the cherry blossom that has sprung out here and there through out the city. I've never been to Kyunghee University before and thought it's pretty interesting how the campus structure is so heavily influenced by the greek & gothic architecture. It's kinda feels a little bit out of place in the middle of Seoul's architecture in my opinion, but don't take me wrong, the campus is still pretty. Kinda reminded me of New York a little bit for some reason.

It was a Friday (plus the weather was really nice), so the place was pretty packed with students who were having picnics (there was even ahjussis who were renting out picnic mats & handing out chinese delivery menus, and yes they deliver it to wherever you are sitting down), elementary and high school students—who I assumed were having field trips, tourists, and couples. So. Many. Couples. Couples everywhere!! Seriously. 

Anyways, the campus is pretty, but it's a little bit hard to photograph, especially if you wanna get an aerial shot. We ended up having to go up a building to get the shot of the campus complex.

Fun Fact: For those of you who are really into your K-pop Idols and Korean actors/actresses, you probably already know that lots of famous celebrities graduated from this place. As for me, I only found out about that when I googled the place. And turns out one of my fav singers, G-Dragon, graduated from here :p

Cafe YLab

May 16, 2015 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

If you're a fan of coffee, cakes, vinyl toys and mangas, Cafe YLab (와이랩) is probably paradise for you. Although comic books cafe is pretty common in Seoul cafe scene, this was my first visit to one. Ended up to this place after walking around Hapjeong (합정) neighborhood (as always) and accidentally saw their banner in front of the entrance. The one thing that made me want to actually go into the cafe was to see that huge Iron Man statue that stand next to the entrance. Pretty awesome right? Cafe YLab is pretty cozy and a perfect place to study or work if you're looking for a quite place but not as quite as the library. They have pretty good drinks and cakes and lots of mangas (most of them are in Korean and Japanese only). They also decorated the place with collections of vinyl toys that are spread all over the cafe. The cafe actually has 2 floors, but I didn't manage to go upstairs to check out the space. Maybe for my next visit.
