Yangdong Market and Dog Cafe

During the week we had one day off on Wednesday so I decided to meet up with Lily to check out Yangdong market. I wanted to find some cloths to make some pillow cases and some yarn for knitting. Yangdong market is an outdoor/indoor market that sells a lot of fresh produce and seafood and meat. It reminds me of the "see cheurn" (markets) in China. It was really big and a lot of the food looked the same. However, it felt like these places are meant for vendors because all the food you can buy are in really big quantities. I didn't find any cloth I needed but I did find some yarn.

After walking around Lily and I walked from there to downtown along the river. It was a nice and pleasant enough walk and it didn't take long. We did a bit of shopping in H&M and I got a polka dot dress and a zip up hoodie. We also went to Innisfree and got some hand creams and Skin Food for some cleanser. There was a parade downtown so we went to see it for a bit while waiting for our coworkers Tyler and Rosa to join us. Neil wanted to work on his surprise for our anniversary and he didn't join us. When they came, we decided to grab some food before heading to the puppy cafe. A place where puppies are running around that you can play with.

We headed to Oh My Burrito! and enjoyed some Mexican food. We bumped into another co-worker Steve and joined us as well. While waiting to get into the restaurant, I popped into Tony Moly and got their egg blackhead cleanser which I wanted to try for a long time. I also got a membership card :) 

After eating, we made our way to the puppy cafe. It was two stories and most drinks cost about $4-$ each. The whole concept of it was pretty cool but it doesn't seem like any of the puppies were properly trained because the place smelled like dog pee. I think they do try to mask it but you can still smell it. It doesn't seem like the puppies were mistreated but I can't get past the smell, I'm a bit sensitive to smells. I'm not sure I'd got back again to be quite honest.
