Friday 27th September Cafés – they bring comfort, fuel our caffeine addictions & serve as a host environment for chatting with friends. Autumn in particular sees more customers than ever, as passers-by seek for warm with a pumpkin spiced latte or in Korea a hot café latte remains a favourite. Thesedays I continue to visit…

Aneuken Coffee ☕
“A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.” – Emily Dickinson (1830-1886). Along the busy street, among the brightly lit cafés and shops, Aneukan Coffee Café stood out beside others with is soft lighting and spacious interior. The café is divided into two halves:…

‘Ban Ga Woe Café’ (반가워 카페) – Gulpocheon, Incheon, South Korea.
As much as I enjoy a franchise coffee shop, whether that be in the UK or Korea, sometimes it’s more enjoyable and fitting to appreciate an independent perhaps one-off coffee shop. Blog sites, map applications, travel advisory websites, and social media provide plenty of useful information and recommendations for highly rated, thriving cafés in Seoul…

My Trip to Fukuoka, Japan – Day 3 (final day) 🇯🇵
Our final self-appointed mission was to find an inexpensive dessert cafe. With our return flight back to Korea not being until 8pm, we gladly were able to stroll around Fukuoka at our own steady pace. Preferably we wanted to feast upon Japanese ‘cloud pancakes’ – thick, fluffy pancakes that don’t take on an entirely solid…

My Trip to Fukuoka, Japan – Part 2 🇯🇵
Unsurprisingly our first, and only full day in Fukuoka, began with a little pick me up: coffee. Coffee, or as I like to call it ‘water for insomniacs’, comes in plenty of varieties throughout the various convenience stores in Japan. Although the actual coffee choices were pretty much alike those sold anywhere else in economically…

[South Korea]: A Guide of Places to Visit.
Yesterday evening I composed a pole on one of my social media accounts to determine which post write today. By demand, 56% of voters preferred that I delicate a post to ‘places to visit in South Korea’. Quite some time ago I wrote a similar post about London, feel free too take a peek: Since…

Our third day in Osaka didn’t exactly begin until past midday, as we decided to stay indoors to restore our energy levels until meeting our friends once again after they had finished work for the day. I vaguely remember mentioning that the Airbnb we had rented wasn’t well equipment in terms of providing a sufficient…

[Blogmas] Day 19: A Trip to Osaka, Japan – 13/12/17.
Our day started of not so pleasantly with a 6am start, though I somehow managed to sleep enough considering I left packing my suitcase to the last night before departure (not intentionally). The flight from Seoul International Airport to Osaka-Kansai Airport thankfully was shorter than the stated duration. The view was quite nice: plenty of…

I’m eating enough well balanced meals thesedays, just twice a week my lunch or dinner will be some fast food or at a restaurant in the streets of Incheon and Seoul. Besides, I’m doing well with my cardiovascular…

From England, to South Korea.
In April of this year I spent my Easter break in South Korea. It was my first visit to Korea and first time going abroad; an out of character spontaneous decision. Let’s be honest, most Brits lack knowledge about Korea unless they’re a kpop or kdrama enthusiast. I’m not interested in the Korean celebrity scandals,…
