I Found Harmony and Peace in Mind in the Alley.

in #culture7 years ago

There are so many famous streets in Seoul for it’s specific tema. For example, Itaewon is famous for clubs, restaurants and shopping, Insadong for korean traditional stuffs, HongDae for its pop culture, etc.

But I was disappointed whenever I visit that kinds of well-known places. There were too much commercial and complicated. I could not find my internal pleasure in those places.

Several days ago I found very calm and peaceful place fortunately.
That place was located near the Blue House, Sajick-dong. If you read my former posting, you may notice the name Sajick. Yes Sajick-ding is near the SajickDan Shrine.

Next to the Sajick-Dan, there was a calm and clean alley.

The alley goes through the village, and the village was very old.
Sometimes, old stuffs give me peace in my mind.

There were several Caffe in the alley.
Caffes were humble.
Interest thing is there was a Harmony among Caffe and shops.


At first you can see the old coffe shop.


Beside the coffee shop there was a tiny and humble clothes shop.
That clothes shop made my mind comfortable.


Next to the clothes shop, there was a Nepal style caffe. Namaste !
There was written “Worry when you remove worry with worry” on the entrance.


This was a french style caffe next to the Nepal caffe.

Austrian - Italian restaurant was across the road.
Does this Austrian-Italian combination make sense ?
I will try some menu in this restaurant next time.


Near the Austrian-Italian restaurant, there was a Korean style caffe.

They decorated Korean tea making stuffs in the window.

In a narrow and small alley, you can find korean, Austrian-Italian, French, American and Nepal style caffe.

When you visit korea, I recommend to visit this not crowded alley near the Sajick-Dan.

There was a Harmony in the alley.
In Harmony You Can Find Beauty and Peace.

Your travels and photos @slowwalker are pleasant to me! It is important to find a harmonious place!

I am not surprised about Austrian-Italian Restaurant. They are neighbor countries which applies to culinary influence. I would love to try that!

Thank you.
I will go there.

a very peaceful walk with with you today, @slowwalker. You know, when we walk I'm not sure if we're strolling down a street or journeying in your mind :)

I think you are incredibly aware of your surroundings and attuned to their subtle moods.

You commented on how old things give you peace of mind and the clothes shop made your mind feel comfortable. You are at peace with your surroundings and that produces inner harmony as well.

A gentle post today - tranquil as a walk down a quiet street

Thank you for your warm comment

Wow! If I ever make it to Korea, I'll definitely check this out. I might just sample some Austrian-Italian dishes while I'm at it. A strange hybrid...but I can never say no to trying new foods.

Pretty cozy place!

Those are some very cool shops, that's something I like to do is go to the shops in little city's and see their shops they are very quaint and you find things you'd never thought were still around, have a beautiful ended and keep on having fun!🌺🌺

Nice post

@slowwalker 님 글을 볼 때마다 우리 가까이에서 한국적인 것이나 낡은 것에서 어떻게 즐거움을 얻는지를 배우는 것 같습니다. 저도 주변을 살펴보게 됩니다.
좋은 글 감사합니다.

감사합니다

As it weird as it is, this actually looks like The Netherlands, my country a little bit. Looks like a nice village with some nice ethnographical items :). Love it, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for visiting

I love the way you depicted this place. Sounds like something I would like to experience. I have places similar to this in my hometown that this reminds me of. Great post :)

Show me your hometown please

I will soon! Unfortunately I don't live there anymore. But as soon as I get a chance to go back, I will :)

Ohh this sounds intresting i think italian food is very specific so we will have a pizza with a Kangaroos ?

Interesting story and the alley looks really nice and clean! I love them! Thanks for sharing it @slowwalker!

Congratulations to you I hope you feel calm and comfortable in that place @slowwalker

That is great advice about worrying. How can you remove it by worrying more?
