I was off on my first holiday since going to Europe in 2019 (Thanks COVID!).
I decided to head to Seoul in South Korea and Taipei in Taiwan, spending a week in each.

I was back in Seoul for a day before flying home to Melbourne in the evening. I spent the day exploring the area just east of Seoul Station near the Sungnyemun Gate (Namdaemun).
Mid afternoon I started the walk back towards my hotel but pulled up the map to look for somewhere for a sneaky last drink. Up popped Seoulista.

BeerCat is an interesting place. It’s a small bar that has a decent beer selection, and there are two resident cats who sit near the bar and do what cats do, sleep.

After getting back to Taipei station I had a quick rest and then looked for my next beer. Close to the station is a place called BravoCafe which calls itself a draft beer bar so I had to go and take a look.
I believe BravoCafe are a small chain of locations, but this entry is all about the one near Taipei Main Station.
I visited twice during my stay.

In the morning I jumped on the train to head out to Taipei 101 to visit the observatory there. On the trip east I noticed that we went past the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall so took a mental note to hop off the train on my return trip to visit.
It was around lunchtime when I arrived so headed into the National Theater Hall to see what the food options were and found a small place called Scenery Books & Cafe.
