It’s not like I come to Itaewon often, so I took a walk around the whole area. Having blogged for so long, photos I snap like this often turn out to be a useful reference later on. That’s because Seoul changes so fast that there are far too many times I can’t recall how a place used to look.

A view like this

You can see Namsan Tower.

A dessert shop

A place called Le Peche Mignon.. it’s tucked way back in the back.. who knew a spot like this existed..

New York pizza

I had no idea a place like this was here.

Crispy Pork Town

There’s a line here. Their tacos seem to be the famous thing.

Shops that have closed down

Looks like it’s all under redevelopment now. Fading into the pages of history..

A cat

There are cats in Itaewon too.

A place like this is still hanging on.

I’m not sure whether it’s still open.. Itaewon isn’t the Itaewon it used to be either..

Cherry blossoms

It’s the season.

Cherry blossoms

What a lovely street.

Bakery Lillion

This place was so popular that I just looked around.

Breads like these

Coming late means plenty of sold-out signs.

Breads like these

Ordinary breads from a big bakery. Nothing wrong with them, but nothing distinctive either..

Sounds Hannam

I wondered at first whether this place would last, but it seems to keep reinventing itself. Good for them if it works out.
