i love the cafe culture in korea. in seoul there are plenty of nice little cafes with a cute interior, nice music, good light food and drinks. i find them really relaxing. i like to go there with friends but also i like to go there alone and study or read a book. each cafe has an own personality. they feel warm, comfortable and cozy. it seems like the life slows down when you're there.
one day i would like to own such little cafe with the best teas, self made pies, wooden tables and mismatching chairs.

korea has some of the nicest people in the world. being a westerner with blond hair is sometimes challenging as i always stand out. i cannot just blend into the crowd. everyday i meet strangers who say hello to me or come to talk with me just because i look different. they are curious where i am from and why i chose korea as my destination. most of the time it is a pleasant experience and i always try to be nice even if im having bad day. however, i do refuse to speak with men who offer me "a free" lift in their fancy cars.
here are some pictures of nice people that i met one april saturday in hongdae. lovely people.


this post just made me realize that i do not have enough pictures of my korean friends. i have to take more pictures.
