Tivoli Village & Sambalatte

So me and my friend merika went to this cool little hidden place called Tivoli Village the other day. Nobody really talks about this place and there's never that many people walking around in it, so it kinda feels like a secret little treasure. We also visited a cute cafe just outside of the village called Sambalatte.

Now I don't like making daring choices when it comes to ordering food or drinks, and this place was expensive, so I thought I should order something that I knew would taste good. There was a little menu for special fall/winter drinks and since it was getting chilly outside I thought I could trust the menu. This was the day I lost all trust in everything. I ordered a spicy mocha, hoping to get a warm chocolaty coffee with some unique spices in it. I couldn't have been more wrong. When they said spicy mocha, they meant spicy mocha. This drink was like liquid hot cheetos with a dash of some tabasco sauce. My throat burned with every sip. And there was so much of it. So, so much. 


Afterwards we walked around for a bit in the Village. It was super cute!





It's a little bit bigger than this, but it was too awkward to keep walking around taking pictures. We passed by this young guy selling strawberries a couple of times and he kept saying he'd let us try some for free. After maybe 4 times of him asking us to try his strawberries I felt bad for him and just went to try a strawberry. Merika quickly walked away when I approached the guy. She had left me for the dead. He asked me my name and we talked a bit. He actually seemed kinda crazy and I wouldn't be surprised if he was arrested for selling crack. I was actually a little afraid that maybe he'd drugged the strawberries or something. I don't remember how exactly it happened but he gave me his phone number. This was the time to go. I tried my best to be polite and catch up with merika, but he kept asking me questions. I finally escaped after a long goodbye.
