Jung-gu
Jung-gu sits at the geographic and commercial center of Seoul, encompassing Myeongdong (K-beauty and street food), Namdaemun Market, and the financial district. The food here spans the full range — from tourist-facing street stalls in Myeongdong to understated lunch joints serving office workers, and traditional Korean restaurants that have operated for decades without needing to advertise.
Ordered to go coffee and hot chocolate as my friend and I were waiting for the tour bus to pick us up. We sat fir about 3 minutes and a male staff member gave us a note that said if we stay in the store we can only use real mug and because we have TO GO cups, we have to leave. Looking around, a couple Koreans/local? Were using to go cups as well but they were sitting , chatting. So I asked the guy why is he letting us out and not telling those couple using the same cups to go out? He just nodded and playing dumb, he speaks good English so he understood. Clearly there is discrimination, we are both colored ladies. So , STARBUCKS 39 Myeondong Gil 26, I respect rules but it has to APPLY to EVERYONE regardless of COLOUR and RACE!!
