Myeongdong: An Epitome of Extravagant Life

Since it was already Dhuhur time, I managed to perform the prayer under the shades of trees inside the village. I brought some papers of campus as the praying mats. It was a good thing that we always keep performing prayers wherever we were. Wawan, my friend, had the same idea, too. After performing the prayer in jamaah, we decided to go for lunch at Myeongdong which was only 20 minute walk from Chungmuro. Hmmm…walking again.  I think after being in Seoul for almost 2 weeks, I have walked a lot….which is good!

As soon as we arrived in Myeongdong, we were immediately submerged into the crowds and looked as if we were blended into the melting pot of people from across the globe. 

The gate where we got in already showed us that it IS a hype place to be and be seen.:)

                              
Lots of shouting store assistants who were luring the customers to get into the stores. All kinds of imaginable and unimaginable stores and restaurants are all poured into the seemingly epitome of human hedonism. 

Yes, right here in Myeongdong. It is a sheer extravagant life to behold and a feast to the eyes.

Judging from the pictures we took: we were into itJ.

Yet, we did not buy anything out of respect to our pockets :) 

We did enjoy the atmosphere there, though.

The fact that we were there was enough to make us think that...it is indeed a sight to see. I overheard lots of people talking in different kinds of languages overshooting the air that hangs over Myeongdong. No wonder, lots of major hotels, department stores are lined up in streets zig-zagging an area affectionately called the Ginza of Seoul.

So do you want to go there again, Suray? YOU BET I would !!!!!!! ;)
