Seoulsisters: Common Ground, Line Friends Flagship Store at Itaewon

Day 6 (20 October 2016): Common Ground and Line Friends Flagship Store at Itaewon

good morning! all ready to start our day! i stand by that sunlight is the best natural filter. and today, we're off to seoul's most instagram-worthy place, common ground!

to get here, take the subway to Konkuk University (line 2 or 7), exit 6. as you can see, this place is actually made of shipping containers, which gives the artsy-fartsy kind of feel. in my opinion, there's nothing much to shop here, we're here just for the feel and for the pictures. you'll also be able to spot fashion models/couples strutting down the bridges and posing against the container walls here. so watch, and learn!

but first, we got to settle our tum tums. there's a few restaurants to choose from on the third level, and we decided to settle our lunch at Analogue Kitchen, which sells western food.

we got the vongole pasta,

truffle mushroom cream pasta, 

jalapeno risotto and tiramisu to share. also ordered some honey lemon beer to share. i think the beer tastes good, especially when you're having a sore throat haha.

and well, let our photoshoot begin!

i think our candid shots are nicer though.

potential album cover for our KPOP debut? LOL!

yes, there are red containers too!

another candid shot, which i thought looked better than a posed one. 

after looking at our portfolios, anyone wants to hire us to be their models? we're all at least 164cm tall :D HAHA! and wow, it can be quite tiring trying to take all these artsy shots, but that's what we were here for. so, moving on!

line friends flagship store at itaewon (take the subway to itaewon station, exit 3)! not a fan of line friends but i like themed cafes :D

with the iconic mega Brown that's at the entrance of all the Line Friends store.

and the cafe's on the third level. yes, there are 3 storeys. 

and yes, you can choose to sit with your favourite line friends characters, if the seats are not already taken up that is. 

tea party! love love love how the presentation of the food is just so on point! but of course, when it comes to themed cafes, prices are not cheap. the drinks are not bad but the cakes are a little too sweet for me. 

attempting a candid shot but i guess we failed. 

one last shot before we leave for our BBQ dinner at sinchon.

oh man, i'm so hungry looking at this!

good thing about having korean BBQ in the cold weather is that we don't sweat. but we still stink after, very, very badly :/ really love the food in korea, they just won't go wrong. like they always say, there's no bad food in korea, it's just a matter of how good they are. well, except for maybe the kimchi pancake at myeongdong. 

taken with the stall's name behind us if you guys are interested in coming here. it reads "go gi chang go" if my limited reading of korean words doesn't fail me. click here for the korean website, the address and i think menu are available on the site as well. you can always get a friendly korean to translate for you or direct you to the place :)

strolled along the streets of sinchon after to soak up the university and kpop atmosphere. there were so many groups/solo performers around. again, i'll end off with a video of my snapchat. and yes, there was another kind korean man who showed us the way to itaewon. i like korea <3

day trip to seoraksan in the hope to catch some autumn leaves next!
