Korean jeopardy question:
We'll take Hongdae for 50 points: BauHaus, where you can love and be loved for 5,000 won
Any guesses?
Give up?
What is... Seoul's dog café. Located deep in Seoul's popular party district, Hongdae, is nestled BauHaus. Sasha's boyfriend Brandon was visiting, so after Seoul's folk flea market, and eating a satisfying meal of Korean BBQ, we met up with more friends at the dog café.
The café is a little overwhelming for those unaccustomed to animals. In fact, my Korean friend Annie, didn't feel comfortable staying, and quickly took leave of us after we found the place. After stepping over the baby gate and opening the door, and squeezing through another baby gate, your senses are immediately bombarded by chaos. You have entered Dog Kingdom. There are dogs running, barking, leaping across tables, begging for treats, being scolded for bickering, walking over counter tops, jumping down and crossing the room, taking a dump or leak on the floor, being groomed. A strong dog smell fills your nose, and you cross the room carefully to an empty booth, and wait to be ordered. Word to the wise: order a drink with a top on it, otherwise it's up for grabs as far as the four-footed friends are concerned!
Sasha was the most adamant about visiting the dog café, and after living with her for several years, I can vouch that this is the happiest I have ever seen the girl. As photos attest, she got a whole lotta love!
Sasha's boyfriend, Brandon was having a good time too...I guess he was too busy with his own furry friend to get too worried to get jealous about the forwardness of the dalmatian!
Dogs own this place! Stop ordering at give me some treats!
Koreans love small dogs. Even more than that, they love small dogs wearing human-esque clothes
Can you spot the only cat in this dog café? I wonder if it hates its life...
This family is clearly doing something right...
