Who would have thought that I would post something about Hello Kitty? I wasn't planning about it, although my wife added Seoul's Hello Kitty Cafe to our itinerary, so I just thought we'll just look at the place and have some coffee like in any other coffee shop. Besides, it was just near Trick Eye Museum, so I assumed it wouldn't take much of our time.
I was wrong. The shop, even though it's quite small, was very interesting. I've never been to any Hello Kitty establishment, even Sanrio Puroland in Tokyo, so I couldn't compare, but I liked the concept. As I mentioned, it's just near the Trick Eye Museum, so if anyone would like to get there, just follow the directions from my previous post, but instead of turning right after two blocks, make it three. From that road, keep an eye on your left, and you can see the shop along the second street.
We ordered a Hello Kitty mini cake, a Boston Hotdog, Cafe Mocha and Iced Lemon Aide, all for about KRW 20,000. I forgot the exact amount, what I can remember is that the cake was KRW 10,000.
Hello Kitty was everywhere - the chair I was sitting on, the cup I was drinking from, the table, walls, even the washroom! And that includes the men's washroom! It was weird taking pictures of the whole place, but I just thought that I was a tourist, the staff and other customers didn't know me, so might as well carry on with what I was doing. The cafe wasn't exactly how you would think about a tourist spot, but it was really very interesting.
