Kyung Hee University

Last month, I've read an article about the 3 most beautiful universities in Seoul. I've learned that they're the Kyung Hee University, Ewha Womans University, and Korea University. Out of curiosity, I planned to visit all of them.

Last month, I was able to Ewha Womans University. This month, I've been to Kyung Hee University. It has three campuses: Seoul, Global, and Gwangneung. I opted to visit the Seoul campus because it's their grandest campus and it's also near my place.

Kyung Hee University - Seoul Campus

Unlike Ewha, Kyung Hee is a little bit far from the subway station. I had to walk for ten minutes from the subway station to the university. Summer is definitely not a good time to walk under the scorching heat of the sun.

 

You'll know you're there when you see their very Gothic Main Gate.

The long walk became worth it for me when I saw this building. I just used the "panorama mode" of my phone's camera to take this awesome picture.

 

This is the University Administration Building for Graduate School.

I went there after I had brunch at the Poop cafe in Insadong. It was afternoon and it was really hot. I was not really in the mood to take some selfies. I think this is my only decent pic in the place. LOL.

 

They call this building "Grand Peace Hall" 

This is the Central Library and Museum.

How to go there:

Take the Seoul Subway Line 1 and get off at Hoegi Station Exit 1. Follow the signs going to the Kyung Hee University. (It's a 10 minute walk. If you're too tired to walk, you can take a bus or a taxi)

Tea House Whitebirch Story

This beautiful cafe caught my attention while walking around Samcheongdong. When you go here, you'll feel like you're in a Korean drama drinking a cup of your favorite tea in a Hanok! <3

I've been exploring famous themed cafes around Seoul. But today, I've decided to look for a cozy cafe that most tourists don't know yet. I think Tea House Whitebirch Story (자작나무 이야기) isn't that famous. I tried to search it in www.traveladvisor.com but there aren't any reviews. 

Another reason why I went there is because it's Instagrammable! <3

(Is Instagrammable a word? haha)

Will I recommend this tea house? 

For desserts, not really. I'm not a fan of patbingsu so I ordered waffles. That's how they served it. It has fruits and a scoop of ice cream on top. I find it too sweet.

Omija -ade and Omija Tea

Anyway, I highly recommend you try these drinks! It's Omija. Omija in korean means "five flavors tea". It has salty, sweet, sour, pungent, and bitter taste. Please try it! I also like Omija ice cream but they don't have it here.
