🇰🇷 life in seoul | ikseondong hanok street, myeongdong cafés, night market snacks

☁️ open for details ☁️

most clips in this week’s vlog are from working days! I work remotely once a week and I prefer to go to cafés, also squeezing in walks during the day. korean cafés usually have plugs, though it’s a bit awkward to use a computer and sit for hours at a popular café with long lines. that’s why I went to a starbucks in crowded myeongdong - there are many more seats and it’s normal to be studying or working there :)

🍎 today’s travel tips
1. find a table before ordering; korea is super safe and I’ve seen people save seats with even phones and wallets 😅
2. try to visit pop-ups before other locations, in case items sell out early in the day
3. plan walking routes ahead of time so you can include scenic stops (like cheonggyecheon!)
