Seoul, South Korea: Cafe 2

Date: 30-10-11

Drink: Venti Quod Vanilla Latte

We found this café on our second day of exploring Seoul, which was after the World Championships. The World Championships, by the way, were held at the Olympic Centre where the Olympics took place in Seoul back in the ‘80s. Very cool having the chance to compete at the Olympic stadium!

After that tour, we returned to Seoul to walk around, find some good Korean food, and just drink up the city.

Speaking of drinking up the city, we discovered this cute little Starbucks in a crowded back street, one of those stereotypical Asian streets where the roadway in narrow, people are everywhere, signs jut out into the streets from ground level up four stories, and vendors mill about potential customers pushing carts laden with goods.
