Cat Cafe in Hongdae, Seoul

Image
If you're in Hongdae and love the company of cats, you've got to visit the Cat's Attic cafe!!! Just alight at Hongik University station and take Exit 9 . It would be just around 5 minutes walk away! This cafe is pretty famous so you can just try to ask around for directions! Koreans are friendly people! hehe.   You'll probably see this dirty-looking Garfield chilling near the entrance of the cafe. ^^      There are soooooo many cats there! With purchase of any drinks which would cost you around 8000won, you can enter the cafe and play with these kitties! You can also spend a small amount to get some cat food. This would be a good idea as some of the cats would only come to you when you have a treat in your hands. Hehe.   When you enter the cafe, the staff would explain to you about the rules there. One of the rules is that you can't disturb the cats when they are taking a nap! Most of the cats will jump into the small wood

Orange Guesthouse (Seoul, Hongdae)

Annyeong haseyo~! I just got back from Seoul a week ago. Been too busy so I haven't had the time to post about my trip! For the next few posts, it will all be dedicated to my experience in South Korea~ :D First of all, I would like to introduce you to the awesome guesthouse I stayed during my 7 days there!   Orange Guesthouse (Click on the link to visit their website!)   The exterior of the guesthouse says it all. It gives off a very homely feel!   The best thing is that it is so near to the shopping area in Hongdae. When you walk out to the main road, just turn right and continue walking and you will reach Hongik Uni. station. There's too much to shop there. XD   If you're looking for the guesthouse while walking along the main road, look for the Hyundai car dealer shop. Orange Guesthouse will just be a little further in.   For dancers who visit to take classes, right infront of the guesthouse (only a few steps away), is Trip Studio.
