Coffee shop hunting

by Jenn


It seems like there is a coffee shop on every other corner in our city. Being coffee and coffee house lovers, Karl and I have decided to start trying different ones so we can find the best cup of coffee for the price, and a good place to hang out. We tried out first one last night in a shopping area of our city, which happened to be a NesCafe Cafe. Yep, NesCafe as in instant Nestle coffee, the kind that comes in big clear plastic canisters. But trust me, this tasted nothing like that. Karl ordered a cafe Vienna and I got an iced cafe mocha. They were both delicious! The only downsides were the price-- 3,500 for Karl's and 4,800 for mine, prices which are printed nowhere on the wall menu, not cool-- and the fact that we accidentally ended up sitting in the smoking section. We just wanted the more comfortable seats with the better view :(   I think the smoking section should have the worst view and the worst seating as a way to punish those jerks who feel it necessary to pollute the air I'm trying to breathe when I sip my coffee. I wonder if there are coffee houses that don't allow smoking? There are some restaurants around here that look like they're strictly no-smoking.





This little trinket machine was on our table. Ladies, if you're tired of hinting, just shove this thing towards your guy and make him read the fine print here. You'll have a plastic piece of crap ring on your finger in no time! Nothing like a proposal with a 1000-won toy, huh?

Now for a daily dose of cuteness!


Tama emerging from under the bed, getting ready to chase me through the living room. He's discovered how to play "chase," and it's all he wants to do now!  Except one thing...


And that would be falling asleep in Karl's hand.
