Another Day In Seoul

















It seems a weekend in Seoul has become somewhat of a semi-regular occurrence now. This saturday just passed (yesterday) was another such trip. Again there was the trip into Yongsan, and again no pix of the area. Sorry, my company was not conducive to picture taking. I'll have to venture out myself for that. Oh, well.

The next stop was Dongdaemun, a shopping district with more stores than the eye can see stretching down the street. We ended up inside a very upscale and trendy department store. Not as expensive as some other department stores I have seen, but fairly reasonable for such a nice place. There is a rooftop patio (it was quite cool out this day) with a great view of Seoul and lounge/rest area as well as food court. As this place was accessed via some underground complex, I'm not sure what exactly it is called. Although, it is only a stone's throw from the Pyoung Hwa Clothing Market (it is attached to it).

The pix are of the surrounding area, inside the department store with its rooftop patio, and the store itself from the outside near dusk. Plus, a few shots (beginning and end shots) of the recently unearthed canal in the middle of the city. This canal was originally buried underground and was part of the sewer system until fairly recently when it was uncovered as part of an urban beautification project. It is very nice and should never have been buried to in the first place.
