Drinks at The Concorde

As the weather starts to chill and birthdays arise and pass~ all whilst being celebrated...the level of drinks consumed seems to increase. The vegan eats have been lacking in terms of anything worth sharing (salad can get a little boring for others....) but the delicious drinks and nightlife in Seoul has been pumping.
I've been enjoying lots of liquid formed treats lately, a lot of it being wine, but at the Concorde in Noksapyeong I had some of their new off-the-menu drink creations!!
The first drink I had was the coffee-infused coffee cocktail...delicious and hella strong.

Kia had a passion fruit mojito and this was DELICIOUS! Punch, mint, sweetness, and mixed to perfection! It was Kia's birthday so this was a special drink~ go and ask for it...this NEEDS to be on the menu!

The Concorde is a GREAT little bar that's got a very hip and comfy vibe to it. The staff is more than kind and personable, the community there is interesting to say the least, and you can get plenty of people watching in while you sip on great cocktails, strong liquors, and IPA's~good beers!!

Directions:
Noksapyeong station (line 6), go out exit 2 walk straight and cross the under-road tunnel. Get out towards the left side, when you walk up the stairs, walk straight until you see Noxa...take the right up that street and The Concorde is RIGHT THERE!!

Art shows in Insadong~

Saturday began a bit rough (what did I do Friday) but I was ready to wander all over Seoul. I woke up around 9, did some yoga, went for a walk, got dressed and kicked it over to 인사동 for some art shows, meetings, and discoveries. 인사동 is such a special place for me, although rather busy, there is so much hidden beauty and silence found there. My family grew up in that area so whenever I find myself there, I feel closer to my mom!
I usually go there just to have some peace of mind, but this time I was there to see some art and get a little inspired. I can't believe I didn't know that there were so many art places! I must create more~

I went to so many galleries and my day JUST began....

where've I been?!~

So I kind of failed in regards to October Mofo month but...this lady has been a tad busy. Not a worthy excuse but~ hey take it.

I've been through moments of bliss and positive thoughts lately and...I'm really genuinely glad that I'm in this spot. Sure, I still get a bit neurotic and atrociously self-conscious but I've learned how to breathe, channel my mind and (attempt) to be patient.

Getting back into art (those old passions) are so necessary, I feel like finally, finally I'm getting in touch with who I am, what I care about, and what gives me fuel to survive. I've done those things on my list (some of them) that I've always wanted to do...those life long goal lists right! I'm in Korea, I'm learning this language, I'm creating something everyday, there's so much more....but this lady feels like she can see the ground~

yeah cuddle buddy!~ (photo taken by VeganBeats)

Amy's Wedding!

One of the greatest woman I know got married recently...she is the first person I worked with when I landed in Seoul and she is very close to my heart. She's a friend, a sister, and a beautiful Seoul!! These are not the greatest pictures from her wedding but~ here's some jams!

The vegan noms were a bit lacking but I had some fruit and 도토리묵 (my FAVorite)~ The meal was more buffet style and super quaint!!

Congrats Amy!~ I'm so excited for you and can't wait to have you in Seoul!!~

What a Week(s) of Brilliance^^*!~

For a while now, things have just been sprinting upwards~
I've spent great times with beautiful friends, have gone to spectacular places, and have met some awesome people! I've been in such a positive and good place and I'm not allowing negativity to have any say in my existence~

I had the pleasure of going to the Tod's brand Opening party last Tuesday and it was too fun! Fashion everywhere, unlimited glasses of wine and mix drinks, entertainment people just kicking it...

On top of a ridiculous posh and FABulous party event, I've been getting back into art and sketching, have been keeping up with my place, been exercising loads...maybe it's endorphins, maybe it's creativity, maybe it's new friends...

I'm "milking" this for all it's got.

Seoul Zombie Walk 2011

As the air chilled our spines and the winds gently hissed in our ears
it was time to fright, to set off thousands of fears...

Seen throughout Seoul were dozens of very sick individuals. They were presumed merely delusional until a group of innocent bystanders were brutally attacked and savagly disemboweled.
When medics arrived on the scene to their shock the victims rose up and attacked the medical team. Leaving no survivors. As hours passed the community of attackers grew and more innocents fell victim to this un-dead epidemic.

This is a Seoul-wide Warning, please remain inside and do not leave the premises until further notified. These individuals are both highly dangerous and contagious. This epidemic occurred last year...Until further notice, here are images caught throughout this Seoul Zombie Walk.
