I Found Harmony and Peace in Mind in the Alley.

in culture •  7 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.

That's really so good, and thanks for this good quality picture

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

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!🌺🌺

How will we find this alley?

I have not been there but your pictures bring me lots of memories of my time in Korea, especially Seoul.

Absolutely

Great photos, these are my kind of photos, places to remember

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.

That said, love the pics and I look forward to some more stories and pics of your other travels.

Up'd and resteemed! :)

@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

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?

Hahaha

Must be one of the best picture I've ever seen. I love it!

I love the multi cultural mix of the different cafes in these pictures.
Some of the streets on the pictures looks like it could have been from San Francisco with the steep streets :)

Really?
I want to go there.
Thank you

I searched your name but got a different result

A comfortable city to relax through a tired day

Coooooool, it looks not much crowded and buildings are quite old fashioned but clean and partly modernized that surely enough to make people to recollect the past.

Thanks again @slowwalker, you always keep me wanting more.
I love your short visits to these different places. Please continue!!

I want to say a lot of good words,
Happiness and health wish,
Heart and soul do not get old forever,
And to live on light a lot, many years.
We wish that life never ends,
Trouble and sorrow were not encountered on the way,
Eternal happiness, good friends,
Success, health and sunny days!
We wish you health - after all, often it is not enough,
We wish fun - it never hinders.
We wish you good luck - it does not come often,
And just want great personal happiness!

thank you for your verse

that's a great place. i love photos. i love korea

Hey, at least there are plenty of selections to choose from there. I mean in the city it should be that way. But I often find myself limited to certain options that come with fast food restaurants, lol.
