Daejeon Cafe: Lune H // 륀에이치 When I moved to Daejeon about a year and a half ago the first thing I did was to search for pretty cafe's where I could go to study. I remember how hard it was to search for things in Korean and also the feeling of success…

두번째하루 Last Saturday I walked out of my house into the most incredible weather we've had all year and hopped on a bus to 유천동 to meet up with a friend and visit a cafe that I've been wanting to try for a while! The cafe itself was lovely but the cafe plus the…

And yesterday for language exchange and coffee as always, I finally did. It's tucked away in Galmadong across from 은하수네거리. So…
