All this changed when I suggested it as the perfect venue for Korean film journalist Soo Kim to interview me. As soon as she set her camera up, clipped a mike to my shirt and started filming, we were ejected. The owner told us in no uncertain terms that he doesn't allow filming in his cafe.
Now I would have though that all publicity is good publicity and that even a square metre of his cafe wall, behind my head, on TV in Seoul would be better than a poke in the eye. Clearly not.
We had to decamp and move from a delightful (once friendly) place with character to a modern, soulless cafe just over the road.
I'd love to know why we were really thrown out. Surely no one can be that publicity shy?
