   I'm at Happy Town K-pop Cafe.

   It's opening week. It is busy and LOUD.

   Also they have SOLD OUT of Seungmin cookies, I asked, what is this INJUSTICE.

   Or maybe it's justice because Seungmin deserves to sell out

   (They still have cookies for the rest of skz)

     Currently playing a bunch of #ATEEZ videos on a large-ish screen at the back of the cafe.

     I'm not feeling bold enough to take any selfies next to the life-size photos of Bang Chan & Felix.

     (They have life-size photos of all the Australian idols, and more emphasis on groups that include Australians)

     I didn't take any photos of the wall of Australian idols because there were people sitting at tables directly in front of them, and it would've seemed rude I think

     Went to their merch store afterwards (on a separate floor). Also very busy & loud. There was an area for social gatherings, and 8 or 10 people were sitting around playing skz videos, chair dancing, showing each other their precious treasures & squealing a lot.

     I bought a skz keychain and a tin with cute stickers & photo cards in it.

     I felt kinda out of place being there on my own, to be honest. And a lot older than most of the clientele.

     But! There were a couple of other people considering the skz tin I'd decided to buy, & wondering about the quality of the photo cards.

     So I told them to wait a moment, bought the tin myself, then I opened it and we looked through the cards together.

     That was good.

     I also seriously considered buying the skz uno deck, but have not yet done so.

     Tin has 10 photo cards, 8 little photo-booth-style photos, & 4 transit pass stickers.

     (I use my phone as my transit pass these days, but I'll find somewhere else to put the stickers)

     The cup sleeve & luggage tag were freebies from the cafe opening, and have the 7 best-known Aussie kpop idols on them.

     I ended up splitting the keychain charms apart cos they were too clattery when both attached to my bag. So now one's on my keys & the other on my bag.

     @yesterdaychild ❤️❤️❤️

     I didn't feel judged or unwelcome, not really.

     Mostly just like the spaces weren't designed to cater to me personally.

     I'm okay with that, I think. I don't have to be centered. As long as they'll let me in & take my money, it's okay. 😊

     Yes it's in the same building (paramount) but in the basement.

     It just opened a week ago

     @lookitmychicken that sounds like a fun (and loud) day! Will you be able to visit again in the future with a smaller crowd so you can get your pictures?
