I got together with some high school friends in Incheon for a weekend lunch. Everyone’s so busy that it’s hard to meet up. Still, it’s nice to have friends back in the old neighborhood. Even …
I head out a bit far for once to see a friend. The area around Madeul Station is a residential neighborhood, so there aren’t many good places to eat. So I just walk into a place called Uijeongbu Budae Jj…
I was out in Apgujeong for the first time in a while and, after dithering over where to get lunch, headed to Bongjuru, a Chinese restaurant that’s supposedly doing pretty well in this neighborhood. The n…
I came out to Apgujeong for the first time in a while, and there was this tourist spot called Garosu-gil that I’d never even heard of. I wandered up and down it for ages, just taking it all in. It looks …
Back in Korea after a long while, a nice meetup was waiting for me. A Cote is a French restaurant that apparently opened recently. Lots of people had been raving about it, so I was curious whether it would sui…
This is the place where I couldn’t get proper photos last time because I didn’t have my DSLR with me. So I went back. Here’s the shop. Just like last time, I waited 30 minutes to get in. Tod…

After a wild night in Ginza, I didn’t feel like just heading home, so I came all the way to Tsukiji for a bite. This time I tried Inoue, supposedly the most famous place in the neighborhood. Inoue is a l…
I heard there was an event at a club & lounge in Ginza called Sabaku no Bara (“Desert Rose”), so I went along. LAVA, a DJ who plays Latin-tempo music I really like, was on the lineup, so I was…
Last weekend there was a DE DE MOUSE event in Shibuya. He wasn’t even the headliner, just a guest, and the vibe was more band concert than DJ set, so honestly it wasn’t all that much fun. Plus, DE …
We’d run out of rice at home, so I headed out to grab something to eat. Wandering around the neighborhood, I spotted a place with a line outside, and even though I’d never seen the name before, cur…
I’ve been posting cherry blossom photos to the point of boredom lately. I figured I didn’t need to see any more of them, but an acquaintance invited me along, so I headed out for the weekend. The p…
