The Korean Coffee Epidemic

Having been in Seoul for a whopping five days, I have discovered some amazing things!!

- Gimbap (a delicious "fast food" you can get at most grocery shops). It's like a giant samoosa shaped sushi filled with deliciousness and the perfect snack/ lunch.

- Paris Baguette, for nice little treats and pastries

- My awesome new Gangnam Style socks that make me feel like a winner.

Above all of that, although we haven't really had time to go shopping, glances on the way to the subway have let me notice the amazing clothes and shoes available here (IF you are a maximum of a size 5UK- yay for me!!) The little we have been able to see of it, Seoul is an amazing city, both architecturally and just shear availability of almost anything.

Except coffee.

These are the options I have found for coffee... either dodgy looking coffee (either instant or slightly brown looking water). OR plain americano's for around 3000 won at the absolute cheapest!! Doesn't help that my body refuses to yield to the Korean time entirely. Getting better slowly, but a decent cup of coffee would do wonders right about now!!

Other than the coffee situation though, so far Seoul is awesome. Getting really keen to move on to Gumi. Am going to miss having my roommates around all the time, but will be so awesome to not be living out of a suitcase! Especially seeing as though  mine was packed my McGyver (aka my mother "the best packer in the world") so there are all sorts of hidden gems (clothes and toiletries), vacuum packed into the various corners of my suitcase that I don't dare try get out, out of fear that I will NEVER fit everything back into my suitcase for the move down to Gumi...

Anyhoo, thanks to a lack of caffeine in my system, it is nap time now :D
