There is a store in the 1st district where we are staying, and the menu, the appearance and interior of the store, and the menu are good, and I found out that I could buy a voucher for a discount with a promotion, so I made a reservation. The actual food was delicious, especially the Vietnamese coconut milk coffee, which became my favorite.

As I was nearing the end of my trip, I decided to treat myself to a little luxury and booked a hotel buffet. There was a promotion going on so I was lucky enough to get a half price reservation, but as you would expect from a hotel buffet, the space was great, and the food, music, and hospitality of the staff were all top-notch. I was happy to be able to eat kimchi for the first time in a while! And not only was the food great, but the dessert section was large and everything looked delicious, so it was very difficult to choose. Although there was a time limit, it was a very satisfying experience.

As my stay got longer and I ran out of things to do at night, I decided to buy tickets. It was a great decision! I was able to see the main spots of the city while feeling the breeze, and the lights were on, so it looked different from the daytime, and I was able to see the lively nightlife of the people, so I was very satisfied.
