Another Adventurous Ride On Bike

Yeaach...15 km and 30 km in total....away from home by bike!! what a treat. I love biking now. I got to...since it's a great way to enjoy Seoul while I have time. It's weekend and what could be better way to spend the time? 
Just finished from school and ...to get rid of my strenuous brain-activity...I just got myself on my bike and off me go....venturing off. 
Nowon-gu turns out to be a great place to live. I mean...it does offer me a chance to beat the off-beat tracks that I dared only dreamed of when I was still at my previous neighborhood.  
A great place to live, eh? hmm...well..yes. I mean...despite its location on the northeastern part of Seoul outskirts, I find it an ideal place to live. But wait...don't you see the chimneys, Suray/ what about it? yes..at first, I was a bit shocked to find out that there are numerous chimneys sprung out of the apartment complex. Does it mean they are active factories? hmm I am not sure...but even if they are...
I don't really care since....

even bird like this one...a huge one..could just easily live and roam free at the nearby streams adjacent to the factories I am referring to.
So? It only means one thing that the environment is safe and healthy enough to live in. Right? 
This is exactly the very stream on which side I was biking along.  
And...da..daa......I finally encountered the active factory..I'm not sure what...I am really lost for words. Could they be an electric plant or some sort of waste-management facility in the city? Gee..I didn't know. I think I should've checked on it.
But..that's not the thing.. 
..the fact that wild yellow flowers I encountered do + indeed healthily bloomed in the midst of summer next to the plant...only confirmed my notion of this place being an awesome place to live--comparing it with others, of course.
And what better way to' immortalize' yourself than...by taking a selfie.:) 
The blue sky, the chimneys, the plant, and the pic of me. 
Again and again..I felt like I was already in the game...by drenching myself in the midst of flowers like that. Yep, I literally plunged myself into the middle of the flowers to take this picture. 
A different side of the same place. 
Woa....I loved it....^^
Biking for 15 km turned me into an environment-activity-escapee. 
Before long, I felt kind of exhausted of biking and then ..letting myself off at the nearby outdoor gym...where I tried some stuffs..which turned out to be my favorite past-time hangout.

What to See @ Nowon Square

It's been a year since we moved to Nowon-gu from Dongdaemun-gu. It's a different world, of course. Since the first one is more like on the outskirt of Seoul--which gives me a good reason to love it. I mean...it has more trees and open spaces for the kids to roam free^^. Like this Nowon Square where we go for movies or shopping on weekends. 
This is the square seen from within the Buk Seoul Museum of Arts. 
And oh...the square is also home to three gigantic dinosaurs^^. Even the tallest one is as tall as the let's say...10 story-building?^^ I bet so. 
From atop the bridge connecting the divided square, the Buk Seoul Museum of Arts is visible. The right picture shows the plywood tree grown in front of the museum. 
This is the bridge connecting the two sections of Nowon Square.  
Back to the dinosaurs, I think they're impressive in the way how they 'merge' themselves into their surroundings. Can't imagine if they're real. 
I think all of the three dinosaurs were created with 1:1 scale. I am pretty sure. 
To see how tall this Brachiosaurus is, I asked Eyra to sit right in front of him/her?
