Winter in Seoul: Bukchon Hanok Village (북촌한옥마을), Seoul, South Korea.

Bukchon at Sunset

Bukchon Hanok Village
May 09, 2015 by greysuitcase in Weekend, South Korea, Seoul

I'm pretty sure for those of you who have visited Seoul or wanted to visit seoul or simply watch Korean dramas are familiar with this particular location, the Bukchon Hanok Village (북촌한옥마을), which is probably one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. I've been here a couple of times during daytime, but this was my first experience spending sunset in this neighborhood. It was a cold winter day, and since the sun was setting down, there weren't that many people in the area. I guess Seoulites prefer to stay indoors on a cold weather day like today, as they should. The experience was totally different than spending time here during the daytime surrounded by groups of tourists trying to take their group shots or take as much selfies as they could. It's so serene, peaceful almost. Such a great way to end the day to just admire the view, watch the sun disappeared into the horizon and the city light started to lit up here and there. For those of you who are in the Eastern part of the globe, I bid you good night, and for the rest of you, good morning and happy weekend! :)

Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

Ferry Plaza San Francisco
April 30, 2015 by greysuitcase in Weekend, San Francisco, Travel

One of my favorite things to do when I'm in the bay area is visiting Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. And so, during my last trip, I did just that with my sisters and my mom. It always fun visiting this place because there are so much things to do. This time, I can't helped to fall in love with all the colorful fresh vegetables that were on display all over the market. I think because I haven't been here for a while, I'm once again fascinated with all these bright colors. 

Of course after exploring the outdoor area, we went inside the Ferry building to sightsee some more. As soon as we entered the hall, we're greeted by the crowd of people shopping at the different stalls along the hallway. People lining up to buy their fresh groceries, vendors offering their product samples for people to try, and some people are dining at their favorite spots are common sights for a Saturday morning in this place. Hope I can visit this place again soon.

Seoul Cafe Series: Take Out Drawing Cafe (테이크아웃드로잉 카페), Seoul, South Korea.

Take Out Drawing Cafe

April 15, 2015 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Weekend, Seoul, South Korea

Take Out Drawing Cafe (테이크아웃드로잉 카페) is one of the places in my want-to-visit-cafes-in-Seoul list. I've seen some cool photos online and thought it's an interesting space. So, after our lunch at Plant, we made our way to this place to check it out. Apparently they have two locations, which I didn't know. The location we went to is the Noksapyeong (녹사평) branch and they have another one in Itaewon (이태원) (I think). The cafe was just okay. We went there on a Saturday so there were lots of people and the place was pretty full. We ordered their most-instagrammed drink, which I forgot what the name is, and according to my coffee-drinker friends, it wasn't that good. It just looks good :) Anyway, I think the other location might have better interior design, so I probably gonna try to go to the other location some other time.

Spring in Seoul: Yeonnam-dong (연남동), Seoul, South Korea.

Hints of Spring

April 03, 2015 by greysuitcase in Moments, Weekend, South Korea, Seoul

Haven't had a lot of chance to walk outside lately so earlier today, I wandered around Yeonnam (연남동) neighborhood and saw flowers started to bloom here and there. This is my first spring in South Korea, so I'm kinda looking forward to see all the cherry blossom around the city. My friends told me spring in Seoul could be gone in a blink of an eye. It usually lasts for a couple of weeks, sometimes it could be as short as 1-2 weeks before summer takes over. Hopefully I can catch the cherry blossom before they disappear. For now, here's a glimpse of it.

Have a good Easter weekend everybody!

Plant

March 31, 2015 by greysuitcase in Food, Weekend

I have heard many good reviews about Plant (플랜트), a small vegan bakery/cafe in Itaewon (이태원) run by Alien's Day Out. Having never been there before, I was looking forward to taste their food when Noah & Hannah suggested to go there for lunch. They only have 2 items on their lunch menu, so we ordered both of them to try — the Lentil Veggie Burger & Tempeh Carrot Slaw Wrap & Cream of Broccoli Soup. Both of them were great! I had the Lentil Veggie Burger and for a burger without any meat on it, it was pretty darn good. Everything was very flavorful and it filled me up just right. I heard their cakes are pretty good too, but since I didn't get to try that, I'll save that for my next visit.
