#AbsolutelyFreeTrip
A cafe with very cute interior and sweets located right near Sadang Station🩵
It has open windows and is on the third floor, so the view is great, and it has a calm atmosphere, making it a great place to relax✨
The sweets are just so cute, with a Mont Blanc cheesecake in the shape of a house and cookies in the shape of a cat🍪
Not only are they cute, but they also have a wide variety🍰
It was a Sunday, so it was quite busy, but when I used it on a weekday before, it was empty, so I think it's a great secret spot on weekdays✨
There are sweets and goods with the owner's cat as a motif everywhere, and all the photos on display were cute🩷

[Risui] Hong Ruizhen, a Taiwanese-style sandwich that's now super popular in Korea
🇰🇷Visited on January 23rd👟
Taiwanese sandwiches are very popular in Korea right now🥪
The representative brand is Hong Ruizhen!
I found out there was a shop near the station where I was staying that I could buy them 24 hours a day, self-service, so I bought some for the first time!
You can find it just by walking down the shopping street from Lishui Station!
This is an unmanned 24-hour shop!!
Recently, there are more and more unmanned 24-hour shops like this in Korea😳
Lots of sandwiches lined up!
Choose a few and pay at the register🛒
One thing to note here is that you will need a Korean mobile phone number starting with 010 to make a payment📱
This is becoming more and more common in Korea, so I recommend getting an eSIM card that supports 010!
I had it at the airport on my way back 🥪
The sweet cream and salty cheese are irresistible 🥹
The limited edition corn cream sandwich was also incredibly delicious 🌽
I also recommend it for takeout 🙂

It's so delicious that I scrape the cream off with a spoon😂 If you have the chance, I recommend you try it at least once!

🎸🪕Soundery, a cafe in Sangdo-dong that's great for listening to music
#SeoulTravel
A portmanteau of "sound" and "boundary,"
I visited *Soundary*, a place where sound and space truly meet. 🎵🏛️
The large vintage speaker at the center of the space
is said to be from the 1920s British audio brand TONNOY.
Its presence alone adds depth and weight to the space. 🎙️
People enjoying a leisurely weekday afternoon in a tranquil atmosphere.
It was the perfect place to spend some quiet time alone, with a cup of delicious coffee and the soft sound of grand music. ☕🎶🌿
Soundary, where sound, space, and emotion harmoniously blend. If you need a break from your busy day, I highly recommend stopping by.🖤

A cozy cafe resembling an exhibition space in Sadang-dong alley
While strolling through the alleys of Sadang-dong, I stumbled upon a charming space named 'Pale Colors and Pieces,' which exudes a subtle and sophisticated atmosphere. Located on the second floor, this shop doubles as an exhibition space. The warm lighting and minimalist interior immediately put me at ease as I stepped inside.
The store is filled with carefully arranged objects and adorable trinkets, each with its own distinct personality, yet harmoniously blending together. The space was adorned with small ceramics, glass ornaments, and drawing artworks, making it a healing experience just to browse through them!
True to its name, 'Pale Colors' features many toned-down, muted items that could serve as perfect accents to transform the ambiance of your home. It felt more like visiting a small exhibition than just shopping, which made the experience all the more special.
If you're looking for a space to fill your day with subtle yet certain charm, I highly recommend stopping by here.

A bakery illuminated by a cute quokka
In a small alley, I invite you to your "Ttanjit Time"—

Significant menu items include the Laugen croissant, tomato and onion cream pretzel, ham and cheese baguette, palmi curry (Earl Grey chocolate), and carrot cake.
The moment you choose, your heart races.
Sit by the second-floor window and take a bite of a cream-filled pretzel.
With a sip of coffee,
the words "Today was a good day, wasn't it?" follow naturally.
✔︎ Closed every Monday and Tuesday, open 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM (LO 7:50 PM) 
✔︎ Clean interior, plenty of seating, including terrace and bar tables.

Dongjak Han River Cafe "The Han River"
Today, let me introduce you to 'Dongjak Cafe The Han River,' a place located on Nodeul Island in Seoul, renowned as a must-visit spot for its stunning Han River views. ✨ This is not just a space for enjoying coffee; it's a special place where you can fully relax amidst picturesque scenery.
'Cafe The Han River' is also known as the 'Dongjak Youth Cafe No. 1,' operated by Dongjak District for young people. Spanning from the basement to the second floor, the first floor features a cafe along with a deck offering a view of the Han River, while the second floor is an open cafe space where you can enjoy the beautiful river view from any seat!
This place is particularly famous for its nighttime views. As the sun begins to set, the soft glow of the sunset reflects on the river, and the city lights gradually illuminate, creating a mesmerizing nightscape that's completely different from the daytime. 🌆 It's an ideal spot to spend a romantic time with your loved ones! 💖 Personally, whenever I sip coffee here while gazing at the Han River, I feel my complicated thoughts naturally untangle.
If you want to fully enjoy the refreshing Han River view amidst the relaxed atmosphere of Nodeul Island, 'Dongjak Cafe The Han River' is a must-visit spot that I highly recommend!

[Seoul] Jokbal Restaurant
Introducing 'Dot Jok Sadang Main Branch' located in Sadang, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 🤤
The name 'Dot' comes from a pure Korean word meaning 'pig.' This restaurant features a spacious hall and group seating, making it perfect for company dinners, family gatherings, or meetups with friends.
To get there, exit from Sadang Station Exit 7, enter the alley you see right away, and walk straight for about 3 minutes.

Value-for-money Omakase recommendation!
Sangnam Sushi
✔️Location: 1st Floor, 64 Yeouidaebang-ro 24-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul
✔️100% reservation-only
✔️Dinner second seating requires alcohol order
✔️Omakase for 55,000 KRW
This 55,000 KRW Omakase includes premium items like Otoro, Uni, and eel! It's a sushi restaurant known for its great quality at an affordable price, making it extremely popular. They only accept six guests per seating, so reservations are very difficult to secure. However, I highly recommend visiting at least once!
