South Korea 25 April 2013: Cheonggyecheon

This morning, it started raining again. So we had delicious strawberry shortcake and yuzu tea in one of the cafe in Hongdae, Pompomnette. I love the cafes in Seoul for their unique deco and soothing ambience.



Luckily it stopped at around 10 am and we proceeded to Cheonggyecheon stream 청계천 that flow through the city central of Seoul. Thanks to the rain, the sky was cloudy and the place was clean and cool for our 1 hour walk.





We exited  the stream near Majeongyo bridge and walked to Gwangjang Market 광장시장. We had our mung bean pancakes and kimchi dumplings soup here. We loved the smaller pancakes with meat better.



Lotsa different wares in the clean market.



Then its off to Dongdaemon for shopping. For dinner, we had bibimbap and tofu seafood stew. Yum.



In the evening, we went back to Cheonggyecheon near Dongdaemon station for the night view.



At night, we visited Tom’s Cat Cafe in Hongdae 서울특별시 마포구. Great place, clean and plenty of cats to play with. However, the cats are not very activate at night.
