Itaewon- Where you can have breadth of mind

I never thought I would love this place. The first time I visited here was on my birthday. I had Taco-bell for lunch, and ate carrot cake in design café near taco bell with my friend. It was great at that time. Nice food with my best friend. What else could be better? However, thing is that it was first visit there to both me and my friend, so we had a bit hard time on finding ways. But still, I had great time there so I thought that well maybe someday I would visit here again and enjoy my meal. Second time I visited here was on Halloween. I thought I would have great time, but I couldn’t since my friend made me to wait in station for an hour… She was super-late, so I spent most of time waiting for my friend to come. I saw many people wearing costume and going to pubs, I just watched them going, waiting for my friend to come… I really envied them :P When she arrived Itaewon very lately, we just had crepes, and some German food. I was angry at her first because she was so late, but the food made my anger to disappear. It was very delicious-that it is hard to describe in words.

This time, I visited with one of my friend, who is going to Vancouver for a year. She never had visited here before, so she said that before going to Canada, she wanted to visit here. So I thought why not, and came here with her. I never thought this would give me the best memory of Itaewon, and keep making me want to come back here again.

Pizzarium's Pizza 

So at first, we started off in Noksapyeong station, not Itaewon station, since I heard that there are more foods near Noksapyeong station. She wanted to eat pizza, and while walking we saw two pizza stores- Pizzarium and Trevia. We went to Trevia, and tried pizza. It was a bit different from Korean pizza, but I think it was more delicious than Korean pizza. The dough of its pizza was softer than normal Korean pizza. Next we had churros which was super super super delicious, this, I cannot express taste in words. Even though my friend and I were full with pizza we kept eating, it was that we could not stop eating since it was so tasty. While eating, we walked to Itaewon station, and visited Leonidas- The chocolate café. It would be great for people who love sweet. Me and my friend loves sweet things so we loved here. We ordered chocolate drinks and they gave us hand-made chocolate for service. It was surely delicious, but price was a bit expensive, so I am not sure if I am going to visit here again, when I come back.

Everyone looked so happy and relaxing 

Looking around, we saw a foreigner couple going to alley. Since we were lost, we followed them, hoping that they are walking toward big crowded street, so that we can find ways and get out of being lost. They did led us to crowded street, with bunch of bars. It was like 2 P.M. but people there was drinking alcohol, looking happy. My friend and I looked at each other and thought what is going on to the world… since it’s really hard to see people in normal bars around noon. However as they looked so happy and relaxing, we just went in to one bar even though we were super full. We wanted to share that happiness, and get relaxed. My friend ordered Hoegarden and I ordered black cherry. Black cherry was so delicious, that my eyes got bigger. (Also it kinda surprised me how much I can eat even though I am full) We sat on the terrace, watching people walking, going somewhere. It was a great time. I fully enjoyed composure that only exists in Itaewon.  

Next time, I am going to bring my best friend here. I am sure she would love here. I recommend Korean people to visit here often- not only diverse culture exists but also composure exists here. When you are tired and sick of something, visit here and take time looking back your worries or problems. It gives you breadth of mind.
