Cat Café!


Saturday, January 5th, 2013 – Sunday, January 6th, 2013


We spend the afternoon at a Cat Café.  There was a cover charge of 7000 Won and that included one free drink.  The café was extremely clean.  You had to take our shows off outside and put on slippers.  They also had separate bathroom slippers. At the entrance they had little cubbies for our shoes and jacket. 















Most of the cats were friendly but none of them were overly affectionate.  A couple had scarves on their necks and that meant they were sensitive.  A couple of little girls were nice enough to give us a little piece of their tuna when we first arrived to feed the cats.  That was probably the most attention we got in return from the cats!

Another little girl asked us to pose in a photograph with her for a school project at her Academy. 



Before we left we also talked to a couple of ladies who were very nice and complimented us by telling us we were like angles.  They suggested some food to try in Korea.  It was funny because one of the cats that likes to sit on laps (two cats in the café will do that) insisted on sitting on the lap of the one lady who did not like cats.  Aimee and I were both begging it to come and sit on our lap but we were not so lucky. 


This is the cat we got the most kick out of





Her name is Momo  








After the café we met with a local and his younger cousin for dinner.  Aimee actually met Heewon while he was studying English in the US at her high school.  We went out for Korean food, so Aimee and I both had the chance to try some new food and learn more about Korea and Korean culture!



The next night, we went out for dinner with another foreigner, Jennifer, who Aimee met while she was working part-time at Aimee’s school.  She has been here for two years and counting and it was really nice getting to know her as well!
