Sushi and Cherry Blossoms
Today was a day of sushi and cherry blossoms. The flowers are a’blooming and the birds are a’chirping because spring is a’coming people. The cherry blossoms are nature’s way of saying, ‘hey guys, everything will be okay’. Cherry blossoms are like the training wheels of nature, they make us feel safe and sound before we […]

Exploring Cafes in Seongsu, Seoul
Amore, Seongsu This is an amazing concept store in Seongsu that houses all of Amore Pacific beauty brands and a rooftop cafe. There are lots of skincare and makeup samples to try, but I was more excited by the vintage graphic design and the actual design of the building. I am still a bit confused […]

I’m not cool enough to go to cafes in Seongsu-dong, Seoul
Edit: Acro Cafe has since changed its name to ‘Scene Coffee’, you can see more images in this post. If you’ve been feeling a little bit too cool with all of this staying home in your pyjamas business, then head to Seongsu to level out your ego a little bit. The customers at this new […]

Today, I spent the morning walking around Apgujeong Rodeo Street (not to go shopping because I’m not a bajillionaire). Instead, I admired all of the amazing buildings in the area that house some of the […]

An Afternoon Well Spent in Gangnam, South Korea
I had another social day today, this time we were in Gangnam. We started our adventure in a Vietnamese restaurant called ‘Tam Tam’, which had queues of people waiting to be seated. We enjoyed our soupy pho noodles up at a really high table – the waiter literally had to push our chairs in for […]

Christmas Has Come to 별마당도서관 (Starfield Library at COEX Mall)
I quickly snapped these images to send to my mum yesterday. We both have a vested interest in any form of ephemeral public art. If I’m ever wondering through Coex, I keep her updated on the changing sculptures at the centre of the amazing library. I wanted to keep up my blogging streak despite the […]
