The Palace itself was a bit bigger than I thought, although definitely not as big as many of the palaces in China. There was a lot of buildings, and even a pond in the back end of the palace. The buildings were pretty empty and lifeless, it felt like we were going into a lot of ghost towns as we wandered through the complexes. In addition, I felt like they could have done more with the buildings, such as displayed more artifacts or sample clothing or furniture or food or anything, instead of closing off all the buildings and rooms. Nevertheless, it was still a pretty fun day.
After the Palace, we went down to Tomatillos again and got more Mexican food. This time, I got Chili Cheese Nachos and it was so good! I didn't take a picture since I was too busy inhaling it, but it was covered with cheese, and meat chili, and jalapenos.. oh drool. It was great.
When we were stuffed, we headed towards Hongdae. Hongdae is the district filled with young people, since it's in the area that had a few Universities. There was a lot of restaurants, clubs, and cafes. After wandering around a lot, getting lost, we finally found where we were looking for: the bau dog cafe.
Yes, a dog cafe. Not the kind you might think of, but this one is a cafe where you go, pay for a drink, and just sit there while tons and tons of dogs run around and jump on the couch and the windows and you. They had some tiny dogs and some huge massive Huskies there as well. Some dogs were very shy and nervous and some were pretty assertive in their wanting their treats, but overall, it was great just playing with the various dogs and holding some of the small cute ones.
