S.S.S. (Shabbie's Summer Sanpo)

took shabz out for a walk and Hyeri joined us for the first time. but it was more like Shabz taking Hyeri and me out for a walk.... i had no control of where she went.
anyway Hyeri took some really beautiful photos of Shabz!
샤비를 산책시키러 나갔는데 혜리랑 제가 끌려다니기만 했던..
그래도 혜리가 정말 예쁜 사진 많이 찍어줬어요.

Cafe Rosso in Samcheong Dong

after a good stroll in the cold mum and i stopped by this cafe called Cafe Rosso for a warm cup of coffee

they kindly had an English map so this is perfect for a lazy person like me!
this is how you get there:

the interior of the cafe

our table had pretty flowers :D

coffee from Honduras, Central America. about USD$6. I know, it's quite pricey for a cup of coffee but i think it's worth it
I am no coffee expert so I'm not in a position to comment on the taste of this (beautiful) coffee, but mum is a coffee fan and she really loved it.
I need the Mullins Sisters to help me!

some details of the cafe worth mentioning:

and the exterior:

i'm definitely going back to Samcheong Dong! ... when it's warmer

strolling in Samcheong Dong

Last weekend mum and i went for a little trip to Samcheong Dong, a place in Seoul well-known for its galleries, cafes, boutiques, restaurants and craft shops.
i couldn't believe this was my first visit to this place. i was entranced.

 the street opens up with lots and lots of small galleries. I found an interesting sculpture on the roof of a building

♥

one of my favourite craft shops, Maki

the shop's got lots of stuff from Japan. I wasn't allowed to take photos of specific products so this was the best i could do 

 ♥

some tea houses, cafes and boutiques along the street

♥

found this lovely cat-collector

mum and i actually collect small wood-carved animal figures so i suggested we should get one of these and she refused because they have become too 'common'
so i guess now we're looking for rare wood-carved animals

 i hope they become rare fast

♥

 pottery shop. mmm the colours

and some cute bicycles

I'll post some photos of a cafe in another entry :)
