TiMOC #2 Ewha Women's University

 

Ewha Women's University was probably by far one of my favorite spots of Seoul. Maybe this is  because the area is catered specifically to my age group and gender. 

As an FYI, in Seoul, a lot of areas or subway stations are named after the main thing in that area. For Ewha Women's University it's Edae, which is short for the name in Korean. 

We didn't tour the entire campus because we were way too exhausted for that, and felt like there were more things we could explore. However, the campus looked beautiful.

Within in these strange metallic walls, was an entire school building. Kind of like a student center/ cafeteria. I tell you, Koreans sure know how to make use of their hills and mountains. 

Once you go above the hill, there is a really cute garden. I imagine students come up there to study to take a breather. The weather was perfect and the breeze was really nice. 

Aside from the university itself, Edae has a couple of streets dedicated to shopping and food. I didn't get many shots of the shops, but the food was really good.

The first time we went there, we went to a small pasta place in a small alley. Nonetheless, the pasta was really good. I don't know what it is about Korean cream pastas, but their sauce is really good. We've tried to recreate it at home using the same ingredients, but we presume their kind of milk or cream is different from what we have in the states. 

Seafood? pasta? I don't remember.

Marinated pork with salad. :) 

Mushroom cream pasta

Churros at IQ84.

Pizza Donkatsu

We went to IQ84 churros often. It was SO good. I've never had churros so good before. The second place we went to was a chain donkatsu restaurant. The food was very good, but my entire group had a bit of a headache/ nausea afterwards, so we assumed it might have been the food. 

All in all, Edae is a very good place for ladies in their late teens to twenties to go to. The streets are pretty, the food is good, shopping is nice. We went there more often than some of the other high-tourist spots.
