I think the only thing that really sets this place apart from all the other cafes in the area is the fact that they have turf instead of real flooring. It's mind boggling and fascinating at the same time. I also love being able to see green grass in the middle of an icy winter - albeit fake. The lofty feel reminds me of my old apartment in Decatur. High ceilings are my friend.
Coffee was the norm 5,000-6,0000 won prices. They had some cupcakes in the dessert case, but they didn't look particularly appetizing.
Offhand question: how long are you allowed to use Christmas decorations/lights? Until the end of winter?
How to get there: this is somewhat impossible to describe. It's parallel to the coffee prince street. I'm crap at giving directions to this area.
Gah, I love hongdae... I'm so jealous! I hope you're staying warm and having fun (I hear Korea gets super cold in the winter)!
ReplyDeleteI think, if your Catholic or Protestant you're supposed to get rid of the Christmas tree and Christmas decoration by 6th January. I hope I'm not wrong but this is common along my friends. Actually this also applies to stores but it seems like some stores are always a bit later ;)
ReplyDeleteBut things like the Christmas lightening can stay until 2th of February.

Is it still freezing cold in Seoul? I remembered how cold it was last year.
The rings are four separate rings. That's actually why I got them, I hate how constricting even two-finger rings are. I think my claustrophobia also extends to my digits.
ReplyDeleteHongdae. What I wouldn't give to spend a lazy day there.
