Not as much of a crazy filled day, but it was a good day ✨ You know the drill! Time for some food/coffee reviews!
Coffee Stop #1: TEN PERCENT COFFEE ( @tenpercent_coffee )
Order: Cafe Latte with Hazelnut + Ten Cream
Rating: 7/10
Price Range: $
EXTRA: Stumbled across this spot on my way to a store, and you aren't able to find this location easily on Naver, so the other locations may be better options if you are a devoted navigation specialist haha.
Coffee Stop #2: OH SLOW (@ohslowcoffee )
Order: Cafe Latte with Hazelnut
Rating: 9/10
Price Range: $
EXTRA: Recommended to me by my tattoo artist. It's got a little bit of seeing and give a corner "nook" of windows vibe that makes people watching enjoyable while feeling "tucked" away.
RESTAURANT OF THE DAY: BAB JOULE (@babjoule_godeok)
Order: Tteokgalbi Kkoma x1, Pork Kkoma x1
Rating: 8.2/10
Price Range: $
EXTRA: This shop was in the subway station and it was the perfect size food to walk and eat. You can either take to go (like myself) or eat there. PERFECT for a small street food spot underground so you don't die of a heat stroke.

TATTOO TIME!!
Studio: Kodzunak Seoul (https://kodzunak.com)
Artist: Saki (@saki.lss) [in the photo with me 🔥]
I went to get my back touched up from the last time I was in Korea. He knows English pretty well so if you are someone wanting to venture into this styled art for your next piece, he can collaborate effectively with minimal language barriers. He is also very kind and will always touch up my tattoo at no cost whenever I'm in the country. He is respectful and I have felt nothing but honor to wear his art on my back. Low key the studio and the artists in it are bomb so I would just check out the website if you like good tattoos haha.

SPECIAL JESS EXTRA
So I got delivery for the FIRST TIME (See last photo for delivered food vibes). Most delivery apps here aren't foreigner friendly if you don't have a permanent residency ID on you, but the app I used was Baemin. It accepts foreigner credit cards but the catch is if you aren't fluent in Korean, you will have to do a lot of screenshotting and translating. Papago is a fantastic app to translate and I've used that app almost exclusively while on this trip.
