To the moon and back

What a day it was today!! My friend and I set off today to go to the one salvation army we could find - second hand clothing is one of our favourites, so we combined forces to attempt to set good old things free.

There was literally nothing there, and most of it was not even second hand, so we hopped on a random bus and then hopped off again when a spot took our fancy. We ended up wandering up old alleys, catching another random bus and then subway'd it into Hongdae, one of our new favourite spots. It's the university area for the arts students, so I think that really says enough. We first went a litte crazy when we discovered the Hello Kitty cafe, which is all you could imagine it to be. Pink, cute, and different enough to go want to be there and have a coffee with your friend. Mind you, I didn't see a single guy in the joint and can't imagine too many being keen on it either.

Then we saw a sign up in the air with a drawing of a cat, saying "Cat Living'. Curiousity got the best of us, and we headed up the check it out. Turns out this is a cat cafe in the making. The grand opening is next weekend (Sat 17th/10), but they let us in to take some photos and hang out with the cats for a bit. It ruled. Hardcore ruled. We plan on going back for the grand opening to support it and take part in whatever they've got going on!

Then we headed into the central gathering area, and watching beatboxers, rappers, tapdancers, checked out some market stalls (we had just missed the swing dance expo), joined in a sing-along with a group, drank some macolie wine from this crazy, crazy vendor wheeling around selling the stuff to the crowd...ha.. and after checking out a rock lounge where you can request songs, an over-the-top karaoke building (So so bourgeois), we danced a little in the streets and then headed home tired out by a solid good adventure. I didn't even mention the sketchy tattoo place or the random lady who as sitting alone outside drinking and playing a recorder or air drummer in intervals.
