Why I like 홍대

These are some pictures on why I love this place so much. I can't believe I never made it out to Hongdae before til a week ago. Ever since last Saturday, I've made it out there 4 times. I love that its 20 - 30 minutes by subway. Gosh I love where I live. These pictures are in no particular order. Please excuse my amateur photography. Hopefully I'll get better! There will be more picture series to come. My friend took me to all the places that aren't so heavily populated and the area where most locals like going. I definitely went a little giddy while I was there. Thank you for being so good to me. <3

Contemporary. Art. Loop: i fell in love with this place SO MUCH

koreans and their obsession with old school bikes. i TOTALLY approve.

happy MLK

since this is my last semester in athens (yes, i will mention this OVER and OVER... sorry in advance), i wanted to take full advantage of the downtown scene. for those of you who dont know, UGA is located in athens, GA. its a small college town with an amazing downtown area. its full of quirky stores, knick-knacks, AMAZING eateries, interesting people, and cool bars that i want to spend as much time as i possibly can here. so for MLK, i decided to spend my day off from school frolicking downtown.

i love this store, angora. the have the most FABULOUS vintage items. of course i would be broke when i come here. why must you do this to me?

Ive always wanted to try a-ok cafe ever since i noticed this tiny cafe. its located in the basement, literal hole-in-the-wall place. i got a grilled cheese, pasta salad & tomato soup all for less than 5 bucks! what a steal. my friend got two hotdogs, side & drink for 3.99. im DEFINITELY coming back here again soon. it was DELISH <3

afterwards, we took a couple of steps and arrived at the new froyo place in athens, yoguri. ill admit, im not the biggest fan of their original but i like their mango flavor. what a lovely finish to a yummy meal.

thank you martin luther king for this fun-filled day. <3
