Vino in Vila vs Califonia Kitchen

I am going to introduce two different styles of restaurant. One is Vino in Vila and the other is Califonia Kitchen. They are both very famous for their dishes, and always there are long waitings. Their main dish is pasta, pizza and salad. That means they are Western restaurant together.

However Vino in Vila, located in Sarae Village, is Italian restaurant. There are just one big floor and very quite, cozy and antic. And tax is already added in the price. One thing I don't like is there is no discount and membership card in Vino in Vila.

In the other hand Califonia Kitchen is in near Gangnam station so it is easy to go with public transportation, and it is American casual restaurant. So it is more similar to family restaurant and there are many family with young children. They use whole building with 4 floors. The mood is very bright, fresh and vibrant. And tax will be added at the price. But they have many discount cards and their own membership card.



My Final Choice - Vino in Vila

I would recommend you Vino in Vila. Because they are more quite and cozy to enjoy your meal. I prefer quite and comfortable place for meal. And the price is almost same, so I think you can take your time comfortable with your family and friends in there. Vino in Vila is kind of unknow to everyone so it can be your hidding place.

SEOUL vs OSAKA

Gyeongbok palace - Main Palace

Osaka Palace

Seoul and Osaka have many similarities. First they were both capitals in the past. Seoul is still capital of Korea. Also they are very crowded. Seoul's population density is 17289 per km, and Osaka's is 11898 per km. In addition, they have palaces and rivers. Osaka is famous for its landmark, it is called "Osaka Place". It was built in 500 years ago, from the leaders commend. After complete the palace, Osaka became one of the important city in Japan again. Seoul has many palaces, bulit in Chosun dynasty, like Gyeongbokgung(main palace), Changgyeonggung and Deoksugung. Both cities are important for the history and they have many cultural assets. Also Seoul has its famous Han River, and Osaka is famous for Dotonbori River.

I think Seoul and Osaka's differenties are mainly from their environmental background. Seoul is surrounded from mountains like Mt.Bukhan, Mt.Gwanak and Mt.Dobong. In the other hand, Osaka is called for "City of Water"or "City of bridge". Osaka is mainly for water so there are so many bridges to cross the river. There are 840 bridges in Osaka.
And Seoul is a Megalropolis, it hosted 88 Olympic and became an international city, but Osaka is mainly for industry as well. So many Korean live Osaka. Because of the industry Osaka became a major traffic point. Osaka has international airport, Kansai airport, and many railway station like Shinkansen. In addition, Osaka has 2 major food, Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki. They both mainly made by octopus. Seoul is famous for food alley like Shindangdong Tteokdokki, and Shillimdong Sundae.
Two cities are close it take just 3 hours and we have ship from Busan to Osaka. I hope they will connect more.
