I am back!
So I was browsing through my picture hustory and saw that I haven’t written about a couple of places towards the end of my exchange. And I feel like my travelogue is incomplete until i take it to the end, so here I am finishing up and tying up loose strings. When I’m done with all update posts, I’m going to start writing general things about Korea~ Around this time exchange is starting for a lot of folks, so it’s the perfect time to write a guidelist that hopefully might be useful for everyone in the future as well.
Sorry for the little rant at the front! Without further ado, introducing one of the more famous cafes around in Hongdae: aA Cafe
From the storefront alone I kinda understood why it was such a popular cafe around for both tourists and locals.
Very nice and spacey! I saw that there was an open-spaced second floor so I went up instead because it seemed more appropriate for one-seaters.
There were also power points! Yay!
I had a pretty view from there.

Ordered a cup of iced latte for about 6000 won. The thing I didn’t like was that the waiters come over to take your order and you pay later on, usually I prefer those whereby I go up and order myself and then they don’t bother me for the rest of the time and I can leave whenever I want cuz i’m a loner like taht?! But anyway they served me and left the bill on the table and I stayed there for a while.
The toilet was located on another floor at the end of the building.
On the way to the toilet I saw some exhibitions. I think it’s a museum on the upper floor.

Great cafe. Would recommend for both alone and group gatherings. Only thing is that it’s a bit on the pricey side and the drinks are nothing fancy. I just went to soak up the beautiful decor haha. Would recommend but wouldn’t be my regular cafe to visit.
How to get to Cafe aA: As with a lot of Hongdae cafes, they are more accessible via Sangsu station.
