Saturday afternoon we woke up after a wildly late Friday night of Pizza and cards to discover that there was a Pet Expo going on across town. So, since neither of us have pet a cat in a month and a half we decided to check it out. It has now reached the point that I will take the subway for an hour to pet a cat through a cage.
The cats were all purebred and they looked really interesting. An observation: most had flat faces. They were the kinds of cats you usually only see in magazines. There had been a cat show earlier in the day and so a lot of the cat's cages had 1st, 2nd, 3rd place ribbons and I must say that Bella and Rufus would have cleaned up at the cat show, based on the competition.
There were lots of dogs at the expo, including these guys. They were soft and we got to hold their leashes. There were also a lot of fish (Korea loves fish) and one ferret. But the best BEST part about the trip was that we stumbled back to the Quiznos that we found last month. The last time we went it was closed but this time...
It was open. Mel and I used to live 5 minutes from a Quiznos in Fredericton so we'd go there all the time and I was craving a Honey Bacon Club something awful. And for only 13,000 won I had one with a bag of chips and pop.
Also, outside of the Quiznos there were free hugs being given away. Do you love the crazy guys in the McDonald's billboard in the background? They're everywhere and I find them quite amusing.
After we got home we went out to Hongdae with some other teachers. Hongdae is 25 minutes away on the subway. It has a University and a lot of cool looking bars. We passed by a drum bar where, I'm told, each person gets their own bongo. We're definately going back there! We went to a breakbeat club which was filled with foreigners (that means 'white people') and thumping vibrating music. Oh, and more free shots! The subways were closed down by the time we left so we took a cab home. Cabbies in Seoul are only useful if they are driving you a short distance because the traffic is complicated and they usually only know 'their' area very well. But our driver did get us home with some help from his cell phone and yelling out the window to other cars. And just in the nick of time too, because I really had to use the washroom.
