Last weekend was another cold and windy day so it was best just to stay indoors.

A visit to Hobby Tomo was on the cards.

Hobby Tomo is a small cafe that offers coffee, snacks, sandwiches and a delicious pizza. You can look and buy many of the characters that are scattered all over the shop. There are also books and comics to read as well as a laptop to use to check on the latest news or your facebook page. ^^

the pizza was really delicious and was 14,000 won or with a drinks combo (2 drinks) 18,000. All other sandwiches and beverages were around 5,000 won or less.

Here are the address details and some pictures:

Well that's all for this weeks edition. I hope it gets warm soon! Have a great week and see you again soon!^^

Itaewon Walkthrough

Well this week has been cold and there has been record breaking snowfall so the most I could do this week was to go to Itaewon and show you some of the sights and places.

I have made a YouTube video that is divided into several sections (see in the video description) so you can skip to areas of interest. You can see where several foreign markets are and the street behind the Hamilton Hotel that has many foreign restaurants and bars.


The busy period is on the way starting at the end of next month where I will be rushed off my feet covering the Seoul Motor Show and shortly after the Photo and Imaging Show but I will tell you more about the dates and places of those events soon.

For now lets check out some snow and Itaewon ^^













Well that's all for this week again... The winter is still bitterly cold so hang in there spring is coming and so is the beginning of a new year of exciting events! So until next time have a great week! ^^
