The last three days have been a blast really^^, and even though it's only been what some would call an extended-weekend so far, it feels like we were able to do so much already!
On friday we did some necessary tourist-stuff like going to the N Seoul tower (finally ended up going to the top of the tower aswell~) which after we were so hungry we had to skip going anywhere else and decided to go eat 내명 (cold noodles).
Found this really nice new~ish place near cheonggyecheon stream (located in the road between the Jonggak station (종각역) and Euljiro-1-ga station (을지로입구역)) called Pomato (포마토). The restaurant serves noodles aswell as a large range of different kinds of korean food like bibimbap and old-school lunch boxes.^^
Also, when you enter (like in many places in Japan~) there is a food-ticket machine from where you make and pay your order. First you can seek a table, because there is a menu with pictures on them, and after you have decided, go to the machine (located on the back of the store for some reason(?):O) and choose your order, insert the money and take out the food-ticket aswell as your change. Then just give the food-ticket to the ahjumma on the counter (and if she's not looking just shout your order at the same time^^) and go back to your table~ Side-dishes are located next to the entrance )to be fetched on your own) and the water is in the fridge next to the counter. Everything works via self-service:)
On Saturday,
because it was ANNIKA's BIRTHDAY(!!)
we woke up earlier than normal (9~ish :D haha) and headed to the mountains where the cafe Annika really wanted to visit was located.^^ After some hopeless walking (pretty much HIKING up the hill) and unrealistic-like sweating TT.TT we finally made it to the Sanmotoonge (산무통이 카페).
I have to say, the hike was worth it, when we saw the scenery from the backyard/balcony.. but the heat was so unrealistic it made sitting outside feel like a struggle.. for me atleast^^'
Luckily when we headed back to the city, we got to refresh ourselves by the gwanghwamun square (광화문광장) when the waterfountains were suddenly turned on~ much needed help for the humidity and the heat that had climbed up to the 36 degrees^^'
After eating, visiting a YP bookstore and having some coffee-time in the near coffeesmith cafe we headed to our hostel to relax and change before some makgeolli-drinking and karaoke~
Really good noodle-reataurant (also) near cheonggyecheon stream~ noora found this place for us^^
It was really cheap, only ~6,000won for lunch per person^^
this makgeolli house was really nice, located in sinchon. (it also has another restaurant in hongdae, but this one is smaller and so in my opinion, much cozier~). (막걸리싸롱 - makgeolli salon)
At the end of the night, went to the near convenience-store to spend some left-over time before going to sleep~ All-in-all, it was a very successful day but in the end I was also really happy to press my head to the pillow and just shut my eyes for the day^^/
Aaaannd,
Happy Bday Annika<3
All the best,
Laura
