Friday lunch in Garosugil

By 11:30am I was in the metro again to head for lunch in the super hobo area of Garosugil. I exited the Sinsa station and spent some time circling around many restaurant still not opened (at least with no visible customers inside), before finding the famed street. Admittedly it was taken over some familiar brands (Nine West and Melvita to name a few), but there were also some pop up stores.

I settled on a corner yellow restaurant that served Italian food and ordered red crab pasta and kiwi juice for 34000KRW. It came with water and sweet cucumber pickles that I could eat forever. I had a refill of the sweet cucumber but thought that a second refill might be a bit too much for my stomach. As rain suddenly poured down, more people came in for lunch and so I had to suck the crab meat out of its shell in front of an audience. It was delicious and I could have taken a nap right there. But the rain stopped and I was out again to window shop, digest and even bought an umbrella to add to my collection.

Since I could not find the area with small bookshops and street market, I headed off again to another interesting station on line 2.
