A Walk To Maili Coffee

A few days ago, I decided to take my camera with me on my walk to my favorite coffee shop, Maili coffee. I usually go there at least once a week to work on preparing for youth group because it is a nice quiet place where I can really focus on preparing well and not get distracted at my house. This is a photo journal of that trip.


Coming down the stairs. This needle was laying on the window seal as I cam down the stairs. I have no idea where it is from, but there it was.


The pile of trash where I had just seen a huge rat run under. (This was the second time I had seen him)


Pile of chairs hanging out for storage? by my house.


This sign says "Protect the environment. Please don't go #1 here." Notice the wet wall. When I was coming back from the gym, there was definitely a man going there. Yes, it is very awkward to have to walk by that.


Grill/baking eggs and sweet potatoes that you can buy on the street.


This is one of my favorite restaurants. It is basically a bunch of vegetables, tofu, and some meat cooked and then seasoned really spicy (they have 5 levels of spicy and I only get the lowest and am sweating). Right now cabbage and big onions are in season and very cheap so everyone buys a ton and dries them on the street to use all winter.


Outside a hair salon. They dry their towels just on the sidewalk by their shop.


Recyclables car. These men ride around with these carts all day yelling for people to bring out their recyclables (kind of like on monty python... "bring out your recyclables...")


Chicken running around by the drying cabbage. (Sorry a little blurry-using old camera until I can buy a new one since my camera was stolen this summer)


Made it to Maili Coffee, this super cute Korean coffee shop that we all love to go to.
