where all the cats are

Hyeri my studybuddy and I went to a cafe.. full of cats.
It's called 양이양이 (yang-i yang-i) and is located in Gangnam.
We talked about going there a few weeks ago and finally decided to do it (and I'm really glad we did!)

So this cafe is literally full of cats.. I saw nearly 20 cats (or more?) playing around and busily licking their private parts.
I think some of them are owned by the staff, and others used to be strays.

so first you need to change into the slippers they provide, to prevent outside dirt from getting in. You also need to wash your hands before handling the cats.

You are required to pay 8,000 won (just a bit less than USD$8), and that covers one drink.There are coffee drinks or teas, juice and green tea latte.

and then the adorable cats are all yours!(but i must say, they do take their time before they approach you no matter how much weird noises you make)

strolling in Samcheong Dong

Last weekend mum and i went for a little trip to Samcheong Dong, a place in Seoul well-known for its galleries, cafes, boutiques, restaurants and craft shops.
i couldn't believe this was my first visit to this place. i was entranced.

 the street opens up with lots and lots of small galleries. I found an interesting sculpture on the roof of a building

♥

one of my favourite craft shops, Maki

the shop's got lots of stuff from Japan. I wasn't allowed to take photos of specific products so this was the best i could do 

 ♥

some tea houses, cafes and boutiques along the street

♥

found this lovely cat-collector

mum and i actually collect small wood-carved animal figures so i suggested we should get one of these and she refused because they have become too 'common'
so i guess now we're looking for rare wood-carved animals

 i hope they become rare fast

♥

 pottery shop. mmm the colours
