Yoga studio in Songdo, Incheon: evening Energy Flow drop-in, Yogacoola

Yogacoola withvancity is a yoga studio on the 5th floor of Seoun Plaza in Songdo, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon. The writer, who usually practises at another studio, took a one-day Monday evening Energy Flow class at Yogacoola withvancity (₩25,000 trial pass) to try a different teacher. The precise hands-on adjustments made it clear which muscles to engage, and the one-hour class left the writer drenched in sweat. With lockers, private showers and hairdryers, Yogacoola withvancity is an easy after-work yoga stop in Songdo.

Songdo Italian restaurant, sweet potato soup by reservation: Cenacolo

Cenacolo Artfore is an Italian restaurant on the 2nd floor of Artfore Building C in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, on a street built to look European. Booked in advance, the visit covered today's soup (sweet potato) at 7,000 won, mushroom cream gnocchi at 24,000 won and calamari pasta at 24,000 won, with the big seared gnocchi and the seafood flavour of the wide paccheri noodles standing out. For a pasta restaurant with atmosphere in Songdo, Cenacolo Artfore is a good fit.

Incheon hair salon for a C-curl perm on heat-permed hair: Naple Hair

Naple Hair Juan Seokbawi Intersection Branch is a hair salon in Michuhol, Incheon, about 363m from Exit 2 of Seokbawi Market Station. Six months after a heat perm left the hair looking damaged, the visit combined a premium perm, a clinic treatment and an added-length charge for a layered cut with a layered C-curl perm, and stylist Yeojin checked the hair's history in detail before explaining the options with no pressure to upgrade. The C-curl at the ends brought volume back, leaving a style that sits naturally worn down or tied up.

Dong-gu, Busan pork soup restaurant, clear broth solo meal: Yeongdong

Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap is a milmyeon (cold wheat noodle) and pork soup restaurant in Dong-gu, Busan, right across from Busan Station. As a first meal after arriving in Busan, one solo bowl of dwaeji gukbap (pork soup with rice) costs 10,000 won, served with a clear broth that takes salted shrimp and dadaegi (spicy seasoning paste) before the rice goes in. Tablet ordering and wide seats make eating alone easy at Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap, and the pork slices are thick enough that the broth disappears too.
