2Cats Cafe

Day 4

While walking along Insadong after visiting Jogyesa, we passed by a small advertising standee of 2Cats cafe, which is located at the 3rd floor, and decided to go for a cup of coffee and to play with cats.

It was my first time to visit a cat cafe and I was so excited! I forgot how much the fee was, but I remember it already comes with a free drink and unlimited time to play with the cats. We were given some guidelines on how to interact with the cats, sprayed some sanitizer on our hands and told us to have fun. And we did have fun! There weren't a lot of people in the cafe which was great. We were able to play with all of the cats.

There were 13 cats, if I remember right. Here are some of them. Kawaaaiiiii!!!

Jogyesa: a quick temple visit

Day 4

Il-ju-mun (One Pillar Gate)

After strolling along Insadong, we decided to drop by this temple, Jogyesa temple. It's a small temple in the middle of the city. It doesn't have the quiet and solemn feel, but seeing the Main Dharma Hall and all the people inside praying from outside, was interestingly calming. The glow of the three Buddhas from inside was enough to make me feel like a higher being is watching over me - in a way that made me want to say a prayer and give thanks for the things that matter to me the most at the time. It just felt good.
