If you like dogs and want to spend an afternoon petting over 25 different dogs then you should head over to Bau House Dog Cafe. The spacious cafe has a feeling of love as dogs prance around and are loved by the many patrons that come. The place has an energetic feel and the place is surprisingly clean as the many staff are constantly cleaning up after spittle and numbers 1 and 2.  The rules are:  1. You should order 1 drink per person (6,000-8,000 won each)  2. You can bring your own dog but you should take care of him or her and make sure they behave.  3. You can only feed the dogs snacks bought at the cafe.  Other tips, they offer daycare for your pet as well!

Directions: Sadang Station (Line 2/1) Exit 4, walk 5 minutes and make a sharp right and walk up the hill. Follow other climbers or look out for hiking stores. It's not hard to find, fear not. And getting lost is always fun. We entered here at Sadang station, hiked for 3 hours to the peak, and then hobbled down on numb legs into Seoul National University which nuzzles its northwest boundary. From there we thankfully hopped on a bus and made our way home.
