Korea Late Winter Sonata 2015 -Seoul - Ewha Women's Univ Shopping street (梨花女大商圈）

We decided to have BBQ pork at Sinchon for dinner and have at least 3 hours to kill before dinner. Contemplate to travel back to apartment to rest but decided otherwise since we basically did no shopping in Seoul.

Since City hall station is along Line 2 which is the same as Sinchon, we decided to travel along this line for convenience sake.

And so, we went to Ewha Women's Univ station where there is a shopping street leading right up to the university entrance.

During our previous time here, the tour guide brought us here and I managed to buy a bag and a pair of earrings here though the things were on the pricey side. Then again, I didn't haggle too as time were too stress.

 I was tired and hungry when we exited from the station and was craving for cheesecake. Ducked into a coffee bean for my coffee fix and ordered a piece of cheese cake.

Mr Love was commenting on my weird craving for food that we can get back home.

 We spent quite some time in the cafe observing a Korean teen waiting for her boyfriend to arrive while checking the mirror every minute.

No joke. She really look into her mirror and adjust herself every minute for 10s and repeat the steps again. We actually timed her. We only left when her boyfriend arrive.

Next is to check out the shopping street which caters more to the youngsters since a Women's uni is located here. Rows of skincare shop line up the street and shops selling various hip clothes and shoes were located at every turn.

But the designs were too young for us. So we went in search of the food street since Mr Love had yet to eat his snack.

Chicken skewers

Kimchi version

 We brought 1 chicken skewer to share but find it to not warm enough under this cold weather. The ajushhi actually did heat it up but we were not sure why it is not warm enough.

 Went into one of the skincare shops to look around but didn't managed to buy anything as usual. Reason being, it is cheaper to order from Qoo even after taking into consideration the tax refund! Why buy here if it is so?

We then came across a tent selling all sorts of fried food and brought a cup of popcorn chicken to share. Perhaps it is winter time and we kept walking around, get hungry very easily.

 The popcorn chicken was delicious and piping hot and it tastes heavenly while eating here on the cold, windy street.

There are a lot of small shops selling very unique accessories in the small alley but none caught my attention.

It wasn't long that we decided to call it a day here and move on to Sinchon station where dinner would be.
