Heyri Art Valley is an incredibly lovely place about an hour away from Seoul where a community of writers, painters, actors and architects gather to live, work and play. A town filled with residences, workrooms, art galleries, museums and cafes, this place has an unique touch to both its community and visitors. Maps of Heyri Art Valley can be found all over the area (such as the one above), alongside with a list of ongoing exhibitions, workshops, concerts and events.

A Twosome Place

A chain of cafes where one could have coffee and cake, or fill one’s tummy with sandwiches. They even provide cake-making workshops, which was replayed over and over again on their television screens.

Yummy sandwiches - ham and cheese with sauerkraut sandwich, chicken sandwich and chicken wrap. Along with apple juice and iced mocha frappe!

 In 2011 it was announced that So Ji-sub would be the product ambassador of this place, alongside its dessert counterpart (which was featured in Kdrama Lie To Me). With So Ji-sub making / drinking coffee like that, how to resist? I would like a cuppa coffee with So Ji-sub to go, thanks! 😀
