Seoul II: Cute Puppies @ Hongdae/Shopping@ Ehwa

April 2014

While trying to find my way to Dorothy Pet Shop, I chanced upon two cute puppies on the streets (leash free). Apparently, their kind owner let them roam around freely for a while. I was lucky to get a few shots with them. 

The puppies may look uncomfortable with my hugging, but they are definitely not experiencing that. A pity they both looked down instead of straight at the camera.

Finally I found it! It took me quite some time to walk around to find it.
These puppies are dressed up in dresses so I assume they are female. Things sold in the shop are quite expensive to me so I didn't buy anything. It took me quite some time to find this shop after going back and forth along the main street. The shop is actually situated at the road behind the main road.






 I walked from Hongdae to Ehwa Woman University for about 20 -30 minutes and shopped around the district.




 I had Shanghai Burger 4300 won which is only available in Korea MacDonalds. It is just fried chicken patty with lettuce and tomato slices. Nothing fantastic about it. I prefer ebi burger (shrimp) from Japan's MacDonalds.


This is what I bought on the day itself. I saw the same white skirt sold at Gangnam Underground Station and Dongdaemun too. It is of the same price as well. The facial masks are real cheap compared to the other brands which are usually 1000 won per piece


Black top with blue collar -5000 won
Facial Yoghurt Foam x2 - 7000 won
Facial Masks - 12,000 won ONLY for 40 pieces (@Ehwa University shopping district)
Necklace-9000 won
Bracelet-9000 won
White skirt with black flower print - 5000 won



Up Next: Gwangjang Market + Dongdaemun + Pet Shop Street

Seoul II: Thanks Nature Cafe > Cute Sheep

April 2014


Animals cafe such as dogs, cats and even rabbits are kinda common but sheep cafe? It is interesting and I read online about this owner of a cafe which has 2 cute sheep stationed there.... I spent my afternoon hanging out at Hongdae area and there wasn't much to buy, given that I do not fancy Korean clothes...




Thanks Nature Cafe is situated at the basement of a building which is along the road to Hongdae University

This is the view along the road to the university



 Cute sheep figurines and the menu







The sheep are kept outdoors and I chose to sit at the outdoor section to have a good view of them.






 I like this shot with the sheep but my face was cropped away




The sheep walk around freely and they are not afraid of strangers

I ordered a cup of Green Tea Frappuccino
 Here comes my Green Tea Frappuccino...

Aren't they adorable?
 





The menu is tourist friendly with English and Japanese languages.
I love it that Korea's cafes provide free wifi
