Alycia CP #6
Date/Time: June 23, 2018 1:30pm - 4pm
Because it was one of the rare nice days where the sun was out and it wasn't too hot, Jeesoo and I decided to meet up at one of our favorite places, the Power Plant powered by Catalena Cafe at Cascades Park. This was really convenient because I was dog-sitting for Nadine (my other CP) and was able to bring her dog, Midas, with me. Midas is a great dog and was getting a lot of attention from other people at the park, and Jeesoo really liked him, but she still prefers my cat. With all of this pet conversation, Jeesoo asked if I was planning on bringing Mushu (my cat) with me to Korea. I told her that I am, if it is possible, but that I will have to wait to fund out what my housing situation is first. Jeesoo's mom has a dog in her apartment, she lives in the greater Incheon area. I started to ask how having a dog in a place like Incheon works. I grew up with several large dogs, but my family owns a lot of land, so we had plenty of space for the dogs to run and play and spend time outside. In a place like Incheon, where you are living in an apartment without many grassy areas around, there is not much that a dog can do. This then led to a discussion about pet culture in urban South Korea and how it must be fairly similar to pet culture in places like New York, though it still seems like large dogs are more popular in America compared to Korea.
