Princess Cafe

After another hectic day at work, unsuccessful and frustrating complaints to the boss and no doubt plenty more to come, Lauren and I decided to meet up for a quick recoup before heading home for the evening.

Wanting to venture outside our usual haunts, Lauren noticed Cafe Princess up on the 6th floor of one of the many neon flashing streets. Why not? we thought. Just after a simple cuppa, we were somewhat bewildered by what we encountered.

Private curtained rooms adorned with pink wallpaper, flowers and kitsch cushions and accessories? It seemed a little OTT, even for Korea.

However, we embraced these minor details once we realised the man won price per room (that's like a fiver) offering free refills of tea/juice/coffee/cookies/icecream. With deals like that going, we weren't sure why we weren't already frequenting the place.
