Coffee shops are so cliche. It doesn't matter what country you're in, if you walk into a coffee shop you're bound to find the same type of people: a student chugging coffee and studying furiously, a couple shyly talking unsure what to do on a first date, a businessman typing away on his keyboard and sipping at his coffee. Korea has the best coffee shops I've been to though. They have coffee shops that rise multiple floors (this one had three plus the roof) and are filled with all kinds of people. Coffee shops that are movie-like in that you can sit there and waste the whole day away. Whether you're studying, or writing a story, or drawing, or sipping coffee and smoking a cigar on the roof; no matter what you do you feel at peace and almost as though time itself were suspended. Coffee shops in Korea are one of my favorite places to be.
