Day 3: Wangsimni-ro

It's my second day of summer school in Hanyang and with every passing second I am falling deeper in love with Korea. It's hard not to. Everything here is pretty - the cafes, people, food packaging...

Just check these drinks out! They are packed in pretty plastic with Line character design and you decide if you wanna have them straight or on the rocks (cup of ice sold separately) How creative is this?! I guess I love the DIY element to the drink. Pouring the honey cafe latte into the cup of ice made me feel like I brewed my own delicious cuppa hehe

After school we decided to explore wangsimni-ro, the bustling street lined with restaurants, cafes, bar and shops. We wanted something really spicy and came across this shop that sells tteokbokki! It was my first time trying it and it was orgasmic (can i actually insert emojis here?!? i need some heart-eyed ones for my tteokbokki)

This is tteokbokki guys, so it's rice cake (the red ones submerged in the sauce) and fish cake (the yellow ones) in an out of the world spicy sauce. My life has changed forever.

And when it was time for dessert we went to Ding Dong Waffle! Yup that's what it's called in Korean too if you can read the Hangul.

It's a tiny shop at the back of wangsimni on the road leading to the train station.

Order here!

and when they're ready you'll hear ding dong! feat camera-ready oppa

Ding Dong Waffle is specialised in yogurt ice cream and waffle. Just this morning I was craving Llao llao and i think god heard me or i've gathered enough good karma for this blessing - their yogurt ice cream tasted like if not better than Llao llao! And as if Llao llao isn't good enough on it's own, their waffle was crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, and the chocolate chip and sauce made the whole thing just perf af :")

Their menu was in Korean and my Korean friends translated them for me, but you can now use google translate that translates word in pictures! Life today is so easy, thank you father google. So many of us owe our lives or the quality of our existence to you xo
