Korea 2011: An upmarket coffee house

On the way home from visiting the tomb described in my last post, we stopped at an upmarket coffee house.  This was to be my experience of a green tea latte:

Here is a picture of a dessert shared by two of Dani's colleagues:

 These desserts are very interesting.  At the bottom is chipped ice.  On top is an assortment of fruit.  On this one the 'sauce' over it is a sweet bean mixture.  As one eats, the juices of the fruit and the 'sauce' mix with the melting ice, which makes from a light, sweet drink at the bottom should one choose to consume it.  There is no waste in Korea, and eating etiquette is flexible enough to cater for this.

Below are a few interesting items seen in the coffee house:
