"We each need to find our own inspiration, Kiki. Sometimes it's not easy."

I went to a Kiki's Delivery Service themed Cafe on Saturday with my friend, it was so cute! I first met Crystal when we were both working in Japan, now we both work in Korea and only live about an hour apart, it's funny how that can happen. This was the first time we had a chance to meet, and we're both hoping it'll happen again before I leave. The cafe was her idea, and I couldn't have been happier with it. Kiki's Delivery Service is one of my favorite Ghibli movies, even more so since moving to new countries. I relate to Kiki's feelings of losing herself and trying desperately to hold on and start over.

The cafe was so cute, unfortunately photos weren't allowed inside. I had the cherry soda, the apple cinnamon Jiji mug tart (the mug was made of sweet pastry, and inside was fresh sliced apples in a cinnamon syrup topped with colored cream) and a lemon blueberry bundt cake. It was way too much food, I was done after just the bundt cake, but it was delicious. There was also a Studio Ghibli shop that I spent way too much money in.
