#CafeRecommendation I found this cafe while walking near my house. I stopped by because of the exterior that reminded me of a foreign outdoor cafe. The interior was just as clean as the exterior, but it was full of emotion. I ordered hamong hamong and orange juice. Hamong hamong is an open sandwich with hamong, melon, and homemade basil pesto on rye bread. It was as delicious as it looked. It was light, but the melon was sweet, so it was very harmonious. It went perfectly with the freshly squeezed orange juice. I was satisfied with the atmosphere and the taste, so I plan to go back soon to enjoy the pancake menu and coffee. 📍Hidden Brown

Average price per person: 23,500~ Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 It's about 2,3,4 servings for small and medium-sized people, and since we went for the second round, there were 3 of us, so we ordered small, but the amount was much larger than it looked. Usually, there's angel vegetables in the sashimi, but here, the sashimi is piled upㅎㅎ The sashimi was thick and had a great savory flavor. We also ate spicy fish stew and ramen noodles in the middle!

Address: 23 Cheonho-yeot 14-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul Average price per person: 12,000~ Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 It's a small gopchang restaurant with only about 5 tables, but it's so delicious that there's a huge waiting line 😋 You have to order according to the number of people, and there's a time limit of 1 hour and 10 minutes. Because there's a time limit, even if there's a wait, it'll go away quickly. In the past, it was hard to make a reservation even if you went as soon as it opened at 4 o'clock, but now it's spacious! When the gopchang comes out, the noodles can stick to the bottom, so you have to eat the noodles first, and you can eat the gopchang when you're almost done eating the noodles! Fujimi's main ingredient is perilla seeds, so it gets tastier the longer you boil it, and the fried rice at the end is especially delicious. #MirrorTravel #EatKitList #CheonhoRestaurant #YeochaeGopchangRestaurant #FujimiGopchang #Couples#RestaurantConquest#RestaurantExploration#SafeTravel

I took a walk along the mountain path section of the Seoul Dulle-gil Trail. Despite being close to the city, it was surprisingly quiet and the forest was lush, making the entire walk refreshing.🍃 🍁 There were some slightly uphill sections, but overall it was manageable, and there were open viewpoints along the way where I could take a break and enjoy the scenery. The signposts were well-organized, so it wasn't difficult to find my way. Whether walking alone or with others, it was a course where you could comfortably enjoy nature.🌳 Next time, I’d like to slowly explore other sections as well.🔮

#JulyTravelSupport 🌳I walked along the Gangdong Greenway trail. The well-maintained path continued from the entrance, and the trees on both sides blended in naturally, so I felt good the whole time I was walking. In particular, there were rest areas and benches here and there, so it was nice to sit down for a while and take a break or look at the surrounding scenery. There were also exercise equipment here and there, so it was good for strength training.🔮 I was satisfied because I could feel nature and walk without much effort. I think there will be different charms in each season, so I want to visit again in spring or fall.🍁 #GangdongGreenway
