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!!!

Day 4

The original plan for this day was to go to Seoraksan and climb Ulsanbawi. We did not push through because a) it was cloudy and there was probability of rain and b) because it was so darn cooolllddd!! Temperature on higher altitudes are naturally lower so...nah! I value my precious nose, however flat it is, and I wasn't planning to let it drop off on my way up the rocky mountain.

So. Instead of that, we went to Insadong to check out shops for souvenirs and pasalubong. The street was filled with different kinds of shops. It just stopped raining when we got out of the station and the weather was perfect for a relaxed day like this to walk around and check out almost each and every shop. Haha! We even explored some of the side alleys which were lined with restaurants. Lovely way to make ourselves hungry with all the aroma coming from the kitchens of all the restos. Lol.

We checked out Ssamziegil. It's a small building with lots of cute and artsy stuff. The building itself is a work of art. Starting on the second floor, going up the building doesn't require/involve stairs because the hall slightly elevates from one corner to another, so you'll be able to pass through each and every store up to the top. That kinda sounds confusing. Lol. How do I say this? Hmm..just think spiral, with corners. Does that help? Hahaha! But, of course there's a stairway located in one of the corners of the hall. Anyway, I was on the lookout for Totoro stuff but didn't find it there. Still, it was worth a visit for those who wants to buy cute stationery items, accessories, bags, clothes, shoes, and other cute stuff for your room and even furniture and so much more! At the top floor/level, there were  also cute cafes and restos. So cool!
