My day in Garosugil

Garosugil, located in east Seoul, is one of the trendiest streets in South Korea. This tree-lined street is full of boutiques, restaurants, and cafes.

I don't know how popular this street is during the winter time, but when it's warm out, it's swarmed by young hipsters.
Coffee shops like these are all over the place. They're perfect for catching up with friends, finishing that chapter you were working on, or even people watching.
Some have tables with digital screens where you can play games while enjoying your drink.

The shopping may not be as cheap as the underground subway shops, but they are very trendy and unique in style.
But don't expect your favorite store to stay open for business forever. Stores come and go on this street. There was a clothing shop that I loved going to, but turned into a Chanel makeup store (which I didn't mind too much!).
Another perk about this street: Forever 21! It's five stories tall, has a huge variety of clothing, AND it's definitely not as crowded as the one in Myeongdong.
I love going to Garosugil whenever I get a chance. It's a great place to check out whether you're just visiting Korea or working here.
