greetings from seoul people! just checked in at the HOTEL LA CASA, which is conveniently located in sinsa-dong, an exhilarant area with a thousand shops, cafes, & traditional korean food places. i can literally just trot & cross the street from the hotel & there would be a coffee shop beckoning me. also, oh so many tiny little streets that will lead you to lovely surprises here y'all. what impresses me the most is that almost all coffee places here have outdoor seatings & some even come with enchanting gardens like this one by local casual wear brand 8 SECONDS.
