lunch in luodong: 藝境空間 X 虎咖啡 “how a cafe taught me to love a broken thing”

SailorSkye

When I first stumpled upon 藝境空間 X 虎咖啡, I thought it was an art studio of some sort…

And since I am a huge clutz in Taiwan (almost got hit by a scooter, always stumple riding my bike, and tripped on a rock the other day), I was a tad afraid to approach such a beautiful building…

I dream of coffee 『Louisa Coffee 就是我的咖啡夢想』

SailorSkye

I am a coffee addict…

In the movies, where there’s that scene when the protagonist — guy, girl — doesn’t really matter, pours themselves a cup of hot coffee and curls up in a window seat, pajama clad and notebook in hand.
