Theres a place in South Korea where you can relax by bonding with about twenty dogs of different breeds and sizes, all vying for human attention. Its called the Dog Cafe and its awesome!
If you havent yet heard about Japans famous cat cafes, theyre venues where stressed businessmen go to relax by surrounding themselves with dozens of purring felines. Cats are very popular in the Land of the Rising Sun, but the concept has been adopted by other Asian countries and recently, even Austria. But animal lovers in the South Korean city of Busan decided to take a different approach and opened a dog cafe, where visitors can surround themselves with furry canines who love human attention. According to Jürgen and Mike, from for91Days.com, Busan is a busy place, with tiny apartments where owning a dog can be considered a luxury, so a place like the Dog Cafe was just what the city needed.

But I won't.
Hopefully, things have changed a lot over there in the last thirty years.

(10,429 posts)After all, when I see "Dog Cafe" and "Korea", I automatically think that the dogs are on the menu.
Same with cats and Chinese food. My vet used to be next door to a Chinese restaurant. I would tell my one cat that, if he wasn't a good boy, he'd go next door to be the special of the day.
