#CafeRecommendation I found this cafe while walking near my house. I stopped by because of the exterior that reminded me of a foreign outdoor cafe. The interior was just as clean as the exterior, but it was full of emotion. I ordered hamong hamong and orange juice. Hamong hamong is an open sandwich with hamong, melon, and homemade basil pesto on rye bread. It was as delicious as it looked. It was light, but the melon was sweet, so it was very harmonious. It went perfectly with the freshly squeezed orange juice. I was satisfied with the atmosphere and the taste, so I plan to go back soon to enjoy the pancake menu and coffee. 📍Hidden Brown

Address: 23 Cheonho-yeot 14-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul Average price per person: 12,000~ Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 It's a small gopchang restaurant with only about 5 tables, but it's so delicious that there's a huge waiting line 😋 You have to order according to the number of people, and there's a time limit of 1 hour and 10 minutes. Because there's a time limit, even if there's a wait, it'll go away quickly. In the past, it was hard to make a reservation even if you went as soon as it opened at 4 o'clock, but now it's spacious! When the gopchang comes out, the noodles can stick to the bottom, so you have to eat the noodles first, and you can eat the gopchang when you're almost done eating the noodles! Fujimi's main ingredient is perilla seeds, so it gets tastier the longer you boil it, and the fried rice at the end is especially delicious. #MirrorTravel #EatKitList #CheonhoRestaurant #YeochaeGopchangRestaurant #FujimiGopchang #Couples#RestaurantConquest#RestaurantExploration#SafeTravel

🔮 Famix Garden, located in Sangil-dong, Gangdong-gu, is a serene and tidy space that feels like a garden in the city. The flowers are well-maintained, allowing visitors to enjoy their fragrance while strolling. There are decks, benches, sunbeds, and other resting areas scattered throughout, making it a great place to relax. 🌳 As an urban farming experience space, there is a rice field where rice is growing. The spacious farm also has balsam flowers planted and growing, along with a traditional pavilion, making it an ideal spot for children to experience urban farming. 🍁 It is conveniently located near Goduk Station and Sangil-dong Station, making accessibility quite good. It's a wonderful place to take a quiet walk, relax, and enjoy the seasonal atmosphere.

#June Travel Support Fund 🔮The cafe inside the Pamix Center was quiet and clean, just like the overall atmosphere. The large windows let in plenty of sunlight, and it was nice to have a cup of tea while looking out at the surrounding garden. The menu mainly consists of coffee, tea, and simple desserts, and the prices were reasonable. 🌳Since it's next to the Pamix Garden, it's nice to take a walk, and you can also sit on the chairs on the outdoor deck and drink tea leisurely. It wasn't too crowded, so I was able to stay leisurely, and it was a space that I didn't feel pressured to come with a child. It was a cafe that was perfect for stopping by after a walk.🍁

#June Travel Support Fund 🔮The street in front of Gangdong Art Center is beautifully decorated with flowers. There is also a senior job cafe, so it is nice to drink tea while walking down the street. These days, the streets are well-maintained everywhere, so it is nice to look at and walk. The summer flowers, hydrangeas, are in full bloom, brightening up the street. Seasonal flowers are evenly planted on both sides of the street, so just walking around like taking a walk makes me feel much better. 🌺 🌳The variety of flowers is diverse, so it is not monotonous, and the overall feeling is neat and tidy. Rather than feeling like a public space, it is decorated like a small garden, so it goes well with the surrounding scenery. There are also many good photo spots, so going to see a performance or exhibition is an enjoyable experience in itself. 🍁Even if it is just a short stop, walking along the flower path makes my mind calm and relaxed. It is a place where art and nature are naturally blended, so it is a place I want to visit again.

🌳 These days, walking trails are well-maintained everywhere, making it a pleasure to walk. There are wooden stairs and mats laid out to prevent slipping, making it easy to walk, and there are benches scattered around for resting, which is very convenient. 🔮 As I walked along the mountain path, I saw small birdhouses and red berries on raspberry trees, which were beautiful. Summer is the perfect time to walk through forest trails. The shade from the trees keeps it cool, and the mountain breeze helps dry off sweat. After walking the 7th trail, Iljasan course, I felt relaxed and rejuvenated. Try exploring the trails or climbing a nearby mountain. All your stress will disappear, and you'll feel lighter. 🍁

🔮 While walking down the street feeling a bit hungry, I decided to try Adam's Mini Kimbap. I had kimbap and cold buckwheat noodles, and the refreshing noodles were perfect for cooling off in the heat. The bite-sized mini kimbap was delicious too. The tables are spacious, making it comfortable to sit and eat. Wi-Fi is available, which is a nice touch. It's affordable to enjoy a set meal, which makes it even better. 🌳 Next to Adam's Mini Kimbap, there's a noodle shop called 'Ssak Noodles.' The unique atmosphere caught my eye, so I snapped a photo. 🍁 Though the menu is simple, both the kimbap and noodles are so tasty that I find myself wanting to come back. It's a great spot for a satisfying meal. Even dining alone is enjoyable here. 🌲

There are various plants in the park, so it was nice to feel nature while taking a walk. In particular, as I walked along the waterside around the park, I could breathe fresh air with the sound of water, which made me feel at ease. As expected of an ecological park, various plants and trees grow naturally, so it was nice to be able to enjoy nature in the city.🌳 🍁There are benches and rest areas well-equipped in the park, so I could take a break and enjoy the surrounding scenery. It is a good place to come with children, and there is also a small playground, so it is suitable for families. 🌲Overall, it was a good time to heal with nature in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. I think it is a big advantage to have a space where you can feel nature like this near the city.

In addition, rest areas, cafes, and simple guide signs are well-organized at each major branch, so you can easily find your way around even while shopping.

🔮 Walking along Godeokcheon in the cool summer breeze was truly refreshing. Strolling by the riverside, the surrounding nature and tranquil atmosphere brought a sense of peace to my mind. The wide walking paths and abundant trees providing shade made it comfortable to walk without feeling too hot. The presence of cyclists and fellow walkers added a lively yet relaxed vibe to the area. 🌳 IKEA shopping was the perfect follow-up to the Godeokcheon walk, making for an enjoyable shopping experience. The store was clean and systematically organized, making it easy to find what I was looking for. Exploring various interior items and furniture was fun, and I came up with many ideas that could be applied to my own home. The prices were reasonable, and the ease of assembly was a definite plus.🍁 In the end, it was a day where I could enjoy both a leisurely walk at Godeokcheon and practical shopping at IKEA. The combination of nature and shopping made for a great stress-relieving itinerary.🌲

🌳The Iljasan Forest Trail Journey is perfect for those seeking peaceful healing in nature. Located in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, Iljasan is an easily accessible forest within the city, featuring well-maintained walking paths and forest trails. Walking along the forest trail, you can enjoy serene natural sounds and spend leisurely moments. The shade created by sunlight filtering through the trees felt particularly refreshing, making even a light stroll a soothing experience for both body and mind.🍁 🔮It felt like escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. As I continued my walk in the forest, feeling the breeze, it seemed as though my stress was gradually melting away. Though Iljasan is not a large mountain, it’s an ideal spot to find a moment of tranquility amidst a busy life. Simply walking along the trails provides ample healing, making it a modest yet meaningful journey.🌲

#June Travel Support Fund 🔮The IKEA showroom and products decorated with a refreshing and practical living room are worth a visit if you want to decorate your home The IKEA showroom gives the impression that it is a living space that has been moved as is. Various spaces such as the living room, kitchen, and bedroom are composed of actual sizes, so you can easily imagine how the furniture and accessories will fit in your actual home. As you follow the showroom route, you may unconsciously think, "I want to live in a house like this."🌳 🍁Living products are highly practical and satisfying in terms of price. In particular, storage items, lighting, and tableware have simple yet functional designs that blend well into everyday life. Many products require assembly, but the instructions are relatively intuitive and most of the necessary tools are provided, so you can assemble them on your own without difficulty. The downside is that the showroom is somewhat crowded on weekends when there are many people, and popular products are often sold out. Still, visiting the IKEA showroom is worth it because you can see and touch them in person. 🌸
