It’s been almost two years since my sister and I were in Seoul, South Korea, and I just realised I never did a post on one of the best things we found near our hostel – the Hello Kitty Cafe!

We got there just before it opened and waited eagerly.  We thought we’d be the stereotypical Western tourists taking photos of everything (well, we were) but there were also locals who got there at opening time and proceeded to take photos of everything too, so we weren’t the only ones.

The cafe is decked out in pink with Hello Kitty motifs everywhere, complete with pink furniture and chandeliers.  The cakes and sweets are all shaped in Hello Kitty faces and even the coffees have Hello Kitty on top.

If you’re as obsessed with Hello Kitty as I am and you’re ever in Seoul, take a trip to the cafe at 358-112, Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu.  You can buy souvenirs (I got a sparkly pink foil Hello Kitty face shirt) too.
