The Roastery

Back in Tokyo and my coffee addiction.

Most of the coffee in Japan, in my opinion, are quite light. So when I found this place where they doubled shot for every cup, I was thrilled to try. As so the review on some blogs and magazines I read so far, they have high-rated this place for a nice espresso.

The Roastery by Nozy coffee, operated by the T.Y.Harbor Express. (Ivy place, Cicada, etc.)
Located on the famous Cat's street between Shibuya Station and Meiji-jingu/Harajuku Station. It is a very nice place to stop by when you went for shopping there. A very foreigner-friendly place, too.

In Winter and early Spring, they provide a heater and blankets outside. In Summer, it is absolutely nice to go, even if there's not much tables. I must say, it isn't a place for working on your laptop or reading on your own, but a place for grabbing real coffee, refresh, re-boost, and hanging out with a small group of friends.

Seoul, the rest of my trip

Okay, I have been extremely lazy with my blog for a while.
I'll wrap up the rest of my 5 days Seoul trip in this entry, by photos and a lil description. But to be honest, I could write about it for about 3 more pages. However, I have been here and there, do this and done that, a lot has been going on since then. I'd love to write about Bangkok and Tokyo in the next entry, too.

Well...
I visited Ehwa Womans University to experience the space, designed by Dominique Perrault.

Itaewon, a very nice street filled up with shop along 2-sides. Plus, Leeum Samsung Museum of Art. (I'm a big fan of Alexander Calder's work! There's a huge one in their yard.) 

And, getting out at Anguk station, besides the famous Gyeongbokgung Palace, there's a lot of art galleries and museums in the neighbourhood. MMCA, National museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, whether you are so into Art or not, it was a very nice place to visit and take a snapshot everywhere they allowed. (The entry fee was so cheap I couldn't believed it.)
Kuk-je Gallery, designed by So-Il, wrapped in stainless steel mesh. Unfortunately, it was closed for setting up the upcoming exhibition.
