I haven’t been able to keep up with my e-mails lately. I’ve been receiving questions on how to go here and there. Instead of replying to each one, I decided to create a section on how to go to certain places.
I visited the location of the Korean drama “1st Shop of Coffee Prince” (starring Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo) last May with new friends Angela and Tesha.
If you’re planning to visit the location of the drama, go there on a weekday afternoon. Their coffee is expensive so bring at least 8,000 won. Now for the directions:
1. Take the subway to Hongik University station on line 2 (green line).
2. Get off and exit gate 4.
3. Notice the “Seven Springs Restaurant”? Turn right at that corner. Walk straight.
4. Turn left at the third corner. Turn right and walk some more.
If my directions aren’t clear, just refer to the map below 
Follow the red line (or is it maroon?)
It takes about 5-10 minutes to go there by foot or about 530 meters. At the coffee shop, remember to ask for souvenirs – postcards and business cards are free! Oh, there’s also a car repair service right across the coffee shop. You’ll see the car lifts from the outside.

Betchay dear! Time flows like water. Has it been 6 months since?
He is into outdoor activities like hiking, but Manila is not the place for it. Other than malls, where do people in Manila take their guests? Sigh.
It is now my turn to be a tour guide. My friend Jung Yup’s friend Mr. Hwang is here to learn English for 2 months or so. Unfortunately, I am not doing as well as I have wanted

Hello. I’m here in Korea for a year. I want to visit some locations of popular Korean Telenovelas. Can you please write about this or can you email the information to me? I’ve been to the location of the Coffee Prince and Jewel in the Palace in Naesosa. Thank you
Hi there. I’m “S” from Malaysia… it been almost 3 years right now since Coffee Prince was aired. I just want to know, is this place (Coffee Prince) still open & operating? I intend to visit Korea this year & I really want to come to this place. Thank you…
Hi S! Yes, it’s still open and operating but I’ve been hearing unfavorable news from people who’ve recently been there. I have three friends who went there about a month ago and they said that the manager acted a little unpleasant. When they tried to take pictures of the place, he asked them if they were going to buy coffee or not. They left the place and just went to the Four Seasons House.
