In Hongdae you can always expect to find a unique shop. This day was no different. I was actually looking around to find some souvenirs for my family at home and stumbled on this cute little toy shop. Not only was it a toy shop, but it was a very specialized one at that. Almost the entire shop was filled with Lilo and Stitch items, but it wasn't limited to that.

Toy Story, Despicable Me, Spongebob and a few others could also be found every now and then. This shop was definitely a place to if you wanted to feel like a kid again. It's every kid's dream and every parent's nightmare. Most of the items don't really come cheap, not even the key-chains and coin purses. 

If you missed my post: Snapshots of Hongdae, you can check it out now. Also look at the Miss Burger restaurant that I visited, while I was walking around. It makes me happy to walk around in Hongdae(홍대동) and I hope that it makes you happy to see it here on my blog. 

Thanks for reading. 

Walking around in the neighborhood of Hongdae can make a man quite hungry. Luckily Hongdae has many places to eat, that are unique and have quite a few delicious options on their menus. Miss Burger is no different.

Usually when one looks at a menu, you know that you get the reduced version of the picture, but it's not the case with Miss Burger. Here you can get what you see. This is definitely a place to visit in Hongdae when you get hungry. The burgers have fresh and tasty ingredients and are quite affordable for what you get on your plate. 

I had the Miss Cheese burger and I couldn't have made a better choice for myself.  The cola is extra and drives the price up a bit, but the set is so delicious and needs a cola to complete it. 

If you read my previous posts about Hongdae or Hapjeong, you would clearly see that I really like these areas and visit them every now and then. This area, like so many other areas in Seoul is filled to the brim with unique coffee shops and clothing stores.  The thing that I like most about it is that each store has it's own style and each street it's own atmosphere. Check out my "Hapjeong nightwalk" post. There are unique food restaurants like Chilly Cha Cha that only sell croquettes and you should definitely see the unique people of this area as well. There's always more markets, restaurants and streets to explore. 

If you can't find something that you like in this area, you most definitely will never find something that you like, or you just don't know what you like. Either way, this area is full of shops and places to explore. Each time I visit it, I find a new unique restaurant or area. If you want more evidence, click here. This is definitely one of the top spots in Seoul to visit and things to do. 

While visit we stopped over at a great burger place called, Miss Burger. Definitely worth to try it. Check out my next post for more on that. 

In my previous post I just showed the People of Hongdae. It was my first time to just capture random faces in particular and showing them to anyone. 

Today's post is about the area of Hongdae and the very nice spring walk that I had. It was also here that I saw the first cherry blossoms of 2014. I couldn't have asked for a better day. In the morning I set out to go and have a look at how they are shooting "Avengers" on the Mapo-Bridge. After that me and my friend went to Hongdae to walk around for a bit and enjoy the weather. 

We started out at Hapjeong, which is a street full of cafes and restaurants. You will see a lot of young people sitting around in the cafes, studying or reading books. The beautiful spring weather and cherry blossoms was enough to give anyone some inspiration and get them over the winter blues. 

We walked all the way up to Hongdae, where we saw a handmade flee market. People were selling their very creative arts and crafts. There I saw this stunningly artistic guy, who designed and drew images on blank caps. I will always regret not getting a contact number or something, because it just feels like this guy will do well in the fashion industry one day. 

I hope you enjoyed my post. Please check out my pictures below and share them with your friends if you like. I appreciate the support and value any and all comments or ideas. 

Until next time.
