I've been wanting to check out what some people call the 'Little Europe' of Korea. Garosugil Street is lined with cute coffee shops and boutiques. I expected the vibe to be one of those 'be seen' types, but I was refreshed to find the prices reasonable and a feeling of comfort strolling and window shopping.

| La Brunchie is one place I definitely want to try. I first heard about it from an article CNN did about this street. |

| Sergio captured Zarina and I making our way into another boutique. Boutiques in Korea often tend to have a theme. This one had more of a muted colors and delicate feel to it. |

| This snow just keeps piling up! Wine is a rarity here in Korea, so it was refreshing to see this staircase lined with empty bottles! | | |

As we approach our half-way mark, we find ourselves searching for things that remind us of the familiar. Boutique shopping and non-fat lattes can make me feel at home anywhere I am in the world! Besides the dark red, real leather, riding boots I can't get out of my head, everything about this street makes me want to come back for more!
To get to Garosugil: Take subway Line 3 to Sinsa Station. Get out at exit 8 and walk straight (approx. 800 meters). Turn left at J-Tower, that tall glass building three blocks down.
Alternatively, Garosugil can be accessed from Apgujeong Station (subway Line 3). Get out at exit #5 and walk for about 15 minutes. Turn left at Kraze Burger restaurant.
