Back For Seconds

My new piercing! You can't see it very well in this picture but it's a tiny little matte black cube :) - Back to our favorite Cofioca in Apgujeong! We'd go anywhere for this bubble tea ^^

Candace: Today was a rainy one so we had another late start. We lazed around all morning and recovered a bit from our trekking yesterday! Finally the lure of bubble tea at Cofioca got us out of the hotel haha. Off to Apgujeong we went! Since we were in the area anyway, we stopped by Nana's to look at jewelry. I got my third lobe piercing on my right ear I had been considering for awhile too! It is my 8th ear piercing so I knew I wanted something smaller and more subdued than my other piercings...I chose a cute, tiny, matte black cube! Jess also bought a pair of really cute wing earrings. This will be it for my right ear; I've always wanted a tragus piercing but my tragus is too tiny. If it was pierced I'd be unable to wear ear phones and we all know that is simply NOT an option lol. Music is life <3

At the top of the U-Plex in Sinchon! Colorful and pretty isn't it? :)

Sipping our delicious bubble teas, we next headed off for Sinchon. I am familiar with this area because this is where my friends Yeji & Jessie live around! I also know this area because it is right between Hongdae and Edae, two of my favorite trendy places to eat and shop. After touring through the U-Plex (giant shopping mall with cafe, ice cream, etc) and taking pictures at the top, we hit the streets in search of dinner.

Since we had been denied the FryPan back in Itaewon, I remembered there was one here as well! In fact, the one here in Sinchon was the one I had personally been to before, when Yeji brought me with her :) I even vaguely remembered where it was, since I recognized the streets coming from Yonsei University (where I stayed with her for a night). Nonetheless, I was taking no chances and had her give me exact directions to get to there before we set off ^.^ 

Happily we made it there without incident and enjoyed a most delicious dinner. Seriously, this stuff is so good. It comes with two dipping sauces of your choice and we chose Sweet Garlic & Thai Chili, or something along those lines lol. SO BOMB.

We dodged foot traffic and real traffic alike on our way back to the subway station- with several universities in the area, there is a veritable flood of humanity out and about at all times apparently. I recall being overwhelmed the first time I walked around here with Yeji; I was like OMGSOMANYPEOPLE o.o 

After a trek through the department store attached to the station, we took the subway for an hour until we got home. Time for some serious R & R before we go at it again tomorrow!
