A 2.6 km walk to Banpo Bridge

It was late in the evening, yet the sun had yet to set. It's summer and the sun sets at almost 8 p.m. But that day, it was a bit foggy and cloudy that we could not see the sun set. Yet, we surely knew that it was not even yet magrib or dusk, yet. 
We arrived at Dongjak station line 4 to start the journey that we never expected.

The station was right next to the river bank that as soon as got off the subway, we could see the riverbank and we stepped right onto it. See the grey buildings over there. It was Seoul from afar. Surely we WERE still in Seoul, but a different part of Seoul. 

Actually we were supposed to get off the Seoul Bus Terminal station, but we were misled by misleading information as to where we were supposed to get off. Anyhow, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. To reach the Banpo bridge (the destination that we were supposed to reach), we never expected that we had to walk for another 2.6 km!!!!!
Ok, the blessing number one: we could see another huge bridge and we were walking right underneath it.
We might as well use the chance to take the picture of it. 

I think it a bit eerie. Well, this is just exactly what it looked like when were there. The underneath seemed like another world apart. I can't believe it myself that it was right underneath the bustling city of Seoul. A very interestingly captured moment, right?

Freya, too, got a chance to take a snapshot there. Well, I did seize the moment so as no other people were visible but her. Nice view, I think.

It was another spot on our way to Banpo bridge. On our way there, we stopped to admire the landscape. Nice to go somewhere with my fellow friend, Wawan and his wife, mbak Ulfa, who always love to take a stroll everywhere we go around Seoul. 

We finally got into the destination: Banpo bridge. This building is a floating island in Hangang. Yes, it is a man-made island on Hangang^^. Amusement park, theater, museum, digital and media art center, cafes, and public spaces are available there.
