hongdae...where the fun begins...and ends.

food shots from 삼거리 포차

 

How many times have I been to Hongdae? Definitely not enough! Friends always tease me about how I never leave Sinsa, let alone go across the Han river.  However, this is really where it's at.  If you can dismiss the fact that this area is catered towards the 'younger crowd' since it is afterall near Hongkik University...you might not want to leave!  Endless restaurants, bars, bargain shopping, live music, clubs, street vendors, fortune tellers (사주's) and in the summer you'll see musicians performing on the streets every other corner!  A bit of a trek for me, but to digest everything, you'll need to make a few trips...

This post is a compilation of 3 different trips, with 3 different groups of friends...but I'm itching to go back to soak up all that Hongdae has to offer...
