Ewha Womens' University (in Ewha) and Cat's Attic in Hongdae - Day 4 - Korea 2014

Who even has time to post when exams are right around the corner and you still haven't touched two units... 
Dedication.
But this is really a photo drop because there's not heaps to say. 

We dropped by Ewha Womens' University and they have a crazy amount of steps. The architecture is really pretty, but it must be so tiring if you have to walk up and down so much every day. Plus, it's a womens' university..
Those are all stairs in the far back. far far back.

Princess Diary Cafe in Ewha - Day 4 - Korea 2014

Princess Diary Cafe is a sweet little cafe in the Ewha area, (known for Ewha Womens' University and the surrounding shopping district). It's not very spacious, and the drinks weren't amazing - but the cafe is quite popular because you are able to dress up in wedding gowns or in traditional hanbok attire. The cafe area was very cutely decorated and I wish I had taken some photos of the decor. The seating areas were separated into tiny houses, just big enough to fit two sofas facing each other and a table. There were even little windows fitted with curtains on the walls. 

The way the cafe operates is that you have to order a drink, and you mix and match the jackets and skirts to make your outfit. All the pieces are separated into bags by price, complete outfits starting at around 10,000 won.
Our planned outfits - it took a lot of deliberation, I didn't want to look like a pumpkin

Kyuhyun at Coex Mall - Day 3 - Korea 2014

This day must have been the biggest coincidence. The plan was to get lunch and have a look around Coex Mall, Rodeo St and Hyundai shopping mall if my memory serves correctly.  I had a list of food places I wanted to try out too. We successfully arrived at Coex Mall and wandered around. There were lots of cool shops and many promotions happening,  and we kind of started collecting balloons...  Decided to have lunch at this little buffet place once everyone got hungry.  Not the best buffet but there were a few good dishes and they have us a box of Brownie mix each lol. During lunch, Nicole had been checking her phone and announced that Kyuhyun would be performing at the Coex Artrium (yes.. art-trium) at 9:30pm. 

This is how close we were!
