Today was a really nice day! I met up with a friend who I have not seen for a few months. It was really great to see her! It was nice to be able to explore a new area with a friend! It was really a good day! My goals for today were twofold plus an added goal that I wasn't even planning on. The first two things were to go to a cat cafe and then to go to a special ice cream place that sells ice cream in a cone that is shaped like a fish and it has chocolate as well. After meeting up with my friend, we took the subway all the way to Hongdae and started searching for the cat cafe. I had looked up online some good cat cafes in Hongdae and found two different cafes that we could go to together. We ended up going to the one that was closest to the subway stop where we got off at. It was a Godabang Cat Cafe. Godabang is like a chain of cat cafes in Seoul so we went to the one in Hongdae. Here's a pic of the cafe's front. The cafe was on the third floor of this small building but the cafe itself was a pretty okay size. When we got up to the cafe, we went through the door and into a small area in front of a small gate. We needed to change our shoes and put on some indoor shoes/slippers that were just on a shelf waiting for customer use. We then had to use a bit of hand sanitizer to clean our hands and keep the kitties safe. We then went past the gate, paid our admission, were given some instructions by one of the shop attendants, and took a seat at a table. Admission was 8,000 Won or about $7.00 for admission to the cafe for as much time as you like and one drink of your choosing. They have a small but nice menu of coffees, juice, and smoothies to choose from. You can also purchase for about $2.00 some cat food and/or treats to feed the cats if you want. After taking a table, we stowed our bags in the little cupboards that were under the seats. Here are the instructions that we were given and the little bios of all of the cats that live in the cafe. We then sat around watching the cats for a while and went around and pet the cats. Here's some of the pictures of the cats and the cat cafe. Take a look at my next post to see about the dog cafe and the special ice cream that we got in Hongdae!
