We were giving a lunch treat to our Korean teacher and her brother for lunch on this day, and everyone was to meet at an Italian restaurant around Seoullo area. Interestingly, this was also one of the places in Seoul that I wanted to explore. It was described as an unknown attraction on top of the roads of Seoul City. Basically it was a very long overhead bridge connecting different parts of Seoul's intersection. And what is interesting about the bridge it, it has gardens and library and free piano on it for you to enjoy. It's basically a kind of a park.
You can read more about the place around the area on the official information above.
Our lunch at this Italian restaurant. Some of the group were quite happy to have a change of diet as some of them were tired of Korean food. Lol. But not for me. I mean, I went to Korea to eat Korean food. But since this is a kind of farewell lunch, it would be rude not to join. Thankfully the food was quite okay.
After lunch, we took a short walk to a coffee house, a Japanese coffee house. Normally our Korean teacher is quite anti-Japanese, but she said she came here before and like the vibe here. So we ended up here for our after-lunch coffee.
Here's a souvenir shot of my shoes and coffee! Aren't it cute?
There are three storeys in the shop, and after buying the coffee or cake, you can sit anywhere. We choose to sit upstairs, which has this super cool Japanese style setting. Interestingly, while I ran around exploring the other corner of the shop, I noticed that there were many man enjoying their coffee here! Specifically the ground floor area seems to be a gentlemen club of sort! I always find it amusing to see man in cafe, coffee shop, or even having cakes together! Hahaha. It's just so feminine!
Our order. It's self service, so you have to pick it up from the counter and make yourself up the very Japanese looking stairs to the second floor. The coffee was pretty good, and it was a treat from the teacher for thanking us for lunch :)
A group photo before we parted ways.
After coffee, we headed off on our own. I went with some friends to explore the overhead bridge, and found this cute pink library in the middle of the bridge! How cute! It was actually very stuffy and very hot inside, but from the photo, it looked so cool!
We also use the bridge to walk to Lotte Mart again just to browse the second floor of the mall since we didn't had a chance the last time we were there at close to midnight! I had my young friend with me, so it was kinda fun hanging out.

It was also the season to tulips. So there were many tulips on the connecting bridge as well.
I always think flowers look fake whenever I am overseas. Cause I seldom see these in real life! So pretty.
My husband saw some ladies dropping their phone on the ground of the tulips to take selfies. So we tried that and above is a selfie of us. I think it's pretty cool too.
