Cat Cafe in Seongnam Seoul

Hey look! A post with cats to distract you from the fact that I have not been posting!


I've been feeling a little feline-deprived since leaving my cat Geronimo behind back in February. Luckily, Korea has a solution for those who need some kitty loving but don't have the means of keeping one of their own. I present to you, the Cat Cafe. Cat cafes are places where you can have a drink and cat companion too. 

Behold! The kitty snuggles!
From what I've been told about cat cafes, the quality can really vary depending where you go. This particular cat cafe was near perfect. It was clean, there was no smell, and it had a wide variety of friendly cats of various ages. There were a lot of toys and climbing structures to stimulate the cats as well as provide them an escape from the humans. Even +Steven enjoyed the little beasts. They also had complimentary lint rollers on your way out to hide the evidence. I say near perfect because there was nobody on hand to slap the teenage boy that was tormenting the cats. +Aubrey would have been more than happy to take that job.







When you come in you get to wear some sweet cat slippers, use some hand sanitizer, and order your preferred cafe beverage. While the the drinks are being made you start to mingle with the locals.
Won't you join us?
  

Eventually an employee came over to us and gave us some cat treats to hand out. That made us incredibly popular for a few minutes.Then they left us for the small children with treats. Easy come, easy go I guess. I had a wonderful time and will be going back for sure!


Yes, that's it. Come to me, my kitties!










Stop hogging the Camera Stevie!

Post Summer Update: A Work in Progress.

I've been slacking off on blogging, but for all the right reasons. I had a wonderful time last month with my visitors, so I was running around having fun and spending quality time with people instead of writing or posting pictures. Don't worry though, I didn't stop taking them! As a result I'm behind on editing and sending out photos. I'm sure those will trickle in as I find the time to do so. This is just a brief recap of recent happenings until I can post more.

 Last month after Steven's quick visit I was lucky enough to have John come visit me for three weeks. I rarely post PDAs, but I will just say that John is a boyfriend extraordinaire, and I was sad to see him go. During his stay we went to museums, Busan, Seoul, and even a baseball game where we were on the Kiss-Cam. We also started using  my GoPro during our adventures, so I'm looking forward to bringing it with me more in the future.

Now I'm back in school for my last semester. Next week I'm going to Japan during my five day weekend over Chuseok. I'm going to Tokyo and Kyoto again! I'm super excited to revisit some areas and discover new places. Oh man, I'm going to take so many photos!

More to come soon!
