My latest Korea trip was the first time that I actually travelled with mom alone, when we usually travel together as a whole. Must be honest here, I did have one of those skeptical pre-travel thoughts about travelling with mom like: “will she be any fun to travel with?”, “will be she moody and act complicated all the time?” to the more selfish ones like “will she be able to take good pictures of me?” HAHAHA OMG I am such a bad kid just by having the thoughts, but hey I am being completely honest here!

LINE is an amazing brand and establishment, what started out as a chatting and messenger platform can now really expand its brand into something that’s probably unexpectable by themselves at the first place, all thanks to their unbelievably cute characters. If you’re an avid LINE user, I bet Brown, Cony, Moon and Sally are some of the familiar names for you.

 Garosu-gil is my favorite district in Seoul, and I believe, for all fashion enthusiasts and cafe-hoppers! While district like Hongdae, Myeongdong and Dongdaemun offer the more affordable fashion options, Garosu-gil offers posher selections and cafes that will treat your eyes and tummies! The district is known for its “tree-lined street”, and that’s actually, literally what the word “Garosu-gil” means. I am going to talk about Garosu-gil and more Seoul districts more specifically on separate posts, what I am trying to say now is that the cute LINE Friends Cafe and Store is located here in this district!

 Getting here was pretty easy, tho it depends where you started. The easiest is definitely via taxi, but if you’re taking the subway, hop off at Sinsa station exit 8, and Garosu-gil is just like 5 minutes walking distance. The LINE Friends Cafe and Store will be on the left side of the street.
I was greeted by this long queue outside the store, I really thought that I needed to be on waiting list just to get in (and I usually “pass”), and as I got closer, turned out the queue was for this GINORMOUS brown doll where people, even non-visitors, are allowed to come and snap one or two pics with Brown.
I might have this weird obsession towards a character, but it’s not just a freaking character, it’s BROWN! #defensive
Must admit I didn’t buy anything from the store, but I know most of you would also take advantage of this open store just for pictures! Admit! I mean the items were very cute (and slightly overpriced) but I just didn’t need one!
PHOTOS!!!









The LINE cafe was located downstairs, alongside the extention of the LINE store. The cafe was not spacious, more like petite-medium with some chairs, table and a communal seating. You could check out the pastries at their glass display table! Had their mouthwatering looking Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Cream (KRW4800), Two Macarons (KRW 6000), their XL Iced Latte (KRW 5200), Two ice creams (KRW 7600).

The store somehow felt like a playground!


Cakes and pastries!






Pretty much what I ordered:
The macarons were uber duper cute, especially the Brown one #teambrown, each macarons are sold for KRW 3000 (IDR 39k) each, not cheap, but flavor wise, acceptable.
The cupcake (KRW 4800/IDR 62,5k) was quite dry, but the cream certainly came to the rescue, the XL iced latte was just ginormous! I couldn’t even finish it even after carrying it around, the ice cream was quite enjoyable even though it was a tad milky for my liking, it’s not those creamy textured soft serve, theirs had this icy texture to it.
Ice cream – KRW 3800 (IDR 49,4k - cup/cone)


XL Iced Latte – KRW 5200 (IDR 67,6k)
I shared everything with mom and spent around KRW 23000 or IDR 300k #WhileInKorea

 To be completely honest, their cakes and pastries were not out of the world special. They’re mostly just cute, but the thing is, I felt this big urge to come and visit, it’s like my trip won’t be complete without it, well at least as a Seoul first timer, but I can see myself coming back! :)

This is good. I am still on my excited mode to write my Seoul trip stories so I guess I’ll just do it before going back and buried in laziness and tons of work!

 A couple of days ago I went to Namsan Tower (or also known as N Seoul Tower) with mom and this was an impromptu plan as we initially didn’t plan about going at all. Aunt and grandma chose to go to Garosu-gil as there were so many stores along the road, but after two hours strolling, feeling super full and the least thing we wanted to see at the moment was another round of meals, we decided to just go to the Namsan tower to check out the famous love locks arena!

HELLO EVERYONE! How are you doing?

 I am in Seoul, South Korea right now having the most wonderful holiday with my mom, aunt and grandma, and we’re having a very-very good time here! I JUST DON’T WANNA GO HOME!!!
Seoul is really beautiful and livable, and the fact that I am here right at the peak of the fall season just makes it even more wonderful! Yellow, orange and red leaves are easily found everywhere, the weather’s freezing (and warm-chilly on good days), the air is so fresh and the light is just beautiful. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this city, if you have the chance, visit Korea in the fall!

 I eat so much here I don’t even care, food here is so good, seriously who thinks about diet when you’re on a good holiday, get away from those people you don’t need that kind of negativity.

 I have two more days left here and here are some of the photos I took on the first three days of my trip! To be honest, I haven’t been a lot of pictures here as most of the times I was mesmerized with the view and ambiance, I don’t even bring my laptop here and I borrowed my aunt’s lappy to edit the photos and write this post. Most of the times, I took several shots that I need and just enjoy the moment with mom, I am happy that she’s happy.

 I think I am always the happiest when I am travelling!

 Enjoy the pictures, excited to share more to you!
