Paju: Snapshots into it’s Unique Cafe Scene
Firstly, I must apologize for the abundance of cafe porn in this post. I couldn’t help taking so many beautiful “snapshots” as we explored the vibrant cafe scene in Paju. As a result, Paju, the northernmost major city in South Korea, remains largely undiscovered by Western tourists. Subsequently, this city, an hour north of Seoul, is replete with stunning natural and man-made attractions and holds a dynamic cafe scene among its charms.

How to Enjoy Songdo Beach All Year Long in Busan
I rarely wade into water deeper than my ankles. I know how to swim, but I’m not crazy about the other stuff, like fish, that can swim too. However, there’s an undeniable magic in the sound of the waves, the aroma of the sea, and the texture of sand beneath my feet and between my toes. I’m drawn to a serene beach atmosphere, one without towering skyscrapers, opulent hotels, or bustling crowds. A casual beach walk is my kind of activity, regardless of the season. The option to stroll along the boardwalk, experience a glass-bottom cable car, or go for a mountain hike while keeping the ocean in sight is pure joy. That’s why Songdo Beach in Busan is my happy place.
