Dog Cafe Bau House

This past weekend I went to a dog cafe in 합정 (Hapjong)! Now It's not what you think, there was no eating of dog involved. You see, a dog cafe is where you can have tea or coffee and be surrounded by dogs. The dogs walk all over the place and you can take pictures of them, play with them, etc. In Korea it's not unfamiliar to come across such cafes. There's also cat cafes (which I've never been to), but I can't imagine cats being too fun to play with.

At the dog cafe the dogs are free to roam all over the place. They can jump on the chairs, the tables, you name it. I can't believe such a place exists! You can bet a place like this would never pass in the U.S. (due to sanitary reasons). But there were people constantly sweeping the floors of the dog hair and regulating the dogs.

Giant bear dog that I waned to play with but was boring and slept the whole time

Another thing you can do it buy dog treats. The dog treats are sold for $3-$10 and the dogs absolutely loves it! With a bag of treats you immediately become the star of attention and the dogs flock to you, eagerly waiting for a handout.

My favorite dog of the day, since the giant bear dog wouldn't play
