Board Game Cafe

If you think America has coffee shops on every corner, you ain't seen nothing. There are coffee shops every way you look, and most of them are themed. (Gotta reel 'em in, right?). Anyway, it worked and I've been to a handful of interesting ones already in my first couple of months here. This one was a board game cafe. They also had paints, markers, paper, video games, computers, and a multimedia room. The drinks were more than normal, but you're also paying for the experience. I thought it was awesome. We played Uno, Jenga, and Tick (a card came taught to me by my one and only sister-in-law, Maggie). It was a perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon in Gangnam with good people. 

Stay tuned: I already have my next crazy coffee shop 

trip lined up, and it defintely tops all the rest.

This time, we decided to get dangerous and grabbed our lighters. It's time to transform our old wine bottles into new glasses and candle holders.

End product: bedside table candle holder and lid for my inscense.

Idea found here.

Also put some Seoul magazines up to add a little somethingsomething to some white walls.

Idea found here.

Kaylee and I are currently making Globe style piggy banks, to remind us 

what we're saving for: traveling! (stay tuned...)

Cat Cafe

First off: No, we did not eat cat. A Cat Cafe is a place where you order Coffee and are able to play with 25+ cats roaming around the cafe. Not only was my Green Tea Latte delicious, but there was even a hairless cat jumping from lap to lap. The Cat Cafe was on the same street as Dos Tacos, so we got two tiny tastes of home, in one short walk from one another. It was also easy to find, due to the person in the dancing cat costume, on the main street.

and last but not least, MR. BIGGLESWORTH!

Meow.

Dos Tacos!

So after 3 months, it happened. We found a good little Mexican food joint. Maggie, Spencer and I walked around for about half an hour trying to find one we'd read about online when we stumbled upon another one: Dos Tacos. We ordered nachos, burritos, tacos, and quesadillas! (with extra guacamole, of course). It was a nice little bit of home away from home.

The sign said "Los Angeles, California"

Beef Burrito

Tacos

Quesadilla

Devoured.

The mexican food place was a short walk out of exit 10 from Gangnam station. 

It was more expensive then San Diego, but definitely worth it. Next time im

 craving nachos with extra guac, I know where I'm headed.

Coffee Break

Cafe exploration number two brought me to Coffee Break in Daechong. Not only was it delicious, but it was warm and we had fun doodling in the Cafe's guestbook. Michelle had a hot chocolate and I had a green tea and we spent about an hour and a half chatting and drawing in the warmth, while the rain fell outside. I flipped through and took pictures of my favorite doodles, shown below.

All you need is love.

It was fun looking through all the notes, and coming across the random one or two in english. 

It made me wonder about the people who wrote them and where they are now.
