Bangapda Changmunbak Goyangi (Nice to Meet You, Cat Outside the Window) is a small evening cat cafe in a house-like ground-floor space in an alley across the road from Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, reached by turning in at the Uri pharmacy; there is no sign and no parking. A couple runs it and has looked after its 10 to 15 cats for many years, so most of the cats are older and sleep a lot. Visits are sold in one, two or three-hour blocks, each including a drink, and on arrival the owners give a detailed briefing on how to handle the cats. Children are not admitted. It opens from 5 pm to 10 pm every day, although opening can be delayed depending on the cats' condition.
