the cutest day in Korea

on saturday, ashley and our friend holly decided to go on a tour of all the cafes we'd wanted to visit. this included: Giocat, Hello Kitty Cafe and Charlie Brown. Giocat was a cafe where they just have about 30 cats, and you play with them while you drink tea/coffee. Hello Kitty and Charlie Brown were just themed places.

giocat was definitely my favorite. the drinks were super expensive, but so is taking care of that many cats. they were everywhere in the place, all over the floor, on the ceiling, on the walls, tables, chairs, benches. everywhere. cats aren't terribly popular in korea, so it was strange to see so many koreans adoring them so much here. some of the people were really struggling to keep cats on their laps, even when it was clear they didn't want to be there. but still a good time, i feel bad for the cats they shaved to have super poofy tails. they looked like cat poodles.

hello kitty and charlie brown were nice, but other than the themes there wasn't a whole lot special about them. HK was more stylish, but Charlie Brown was just a much nicer place to hang out in.

My name is Sharon, and I work for Huijun Communications (www.huijun.co.kr). I came across your blog and I enjoyed reading all your posts and thought I'd contact you.

At Huijun Communications, we are currently in the works of creating a website (www.lifeinkorea.kr) that serves as a hub and a community for foreign nationals living in Korea. Our vision is to create a website where people can get all info and service they want through this website without need of searching and looking here and there, and through which people communicate with Koreans as well.

Many bloggers showed their interest and joined in our website by posting their articles to share with others, and I would like to invite you to do the same.
