Delicious with Nature

자연과 맛있다 [jayeongwa massita]. One of the myriads of  restaurants at Coex. People lining up to wait for their turn to be seated. What's the fuzz about it?

Yes...this restaurant only serves naturally grown veggies and ingredients. Our menu for the day was Summer delicacies: 콩국수[kongkuksu]. noodles made of soybeans served with soybean syrups....anyway....it's our favourite.

Rose, Coex

We finally got a chance to visit the newly reopened Coex Mall.

It has a modern touch like any other malls.

It's simply like...hmm... it"s relatively far from home ㅠㅠ

Saw a banner displaying the Happy Rose garden. ...

Frankly speaking...I got no idea what these were for

But, as long as the kids were having fun, I'm all for it.

COEX Aquarium (part 2)

 More stories from Coex Aquarium we visited during last week's Children's Day.

We were at the seven sea zone. It's shark-zone basically, but there were other creatures, too, either crawling (yes, literally) or swimming.  

Since it's a holiday, a packed-fully house aquarium was expected. I guess fish also got a chance to enjoy seeing us human from inside their lot.^^ 

We're just in time for a feeding & other-attraction show. The best part? we could take pictures with those divers who were more than willing to smile (really?) through their tubes. At least their gesture suggested so. 

It's the second time Eyra ever posed inside this rather-famous-among-kids-shark-statue. 

I didn't get the idea of this love-tank aquarium. I mean..it takes two to shape a heart-shape lights. But, please come on.....//oh, well..the kids did BUY this kind of stuffs.^^ 

Back with the show, before leaving the show, we took turn to take a picture with diver(s) right behind us...happily smiling (ㅋㅋㅋ) from within the tube. 

Now, we're at the glassed-tube where most of great fish are exhibited.  

A must-see and must-do pose whenever people got underwater.^^ 

Happy Children's Day, Eyra and Freya, too. 

And for you, too, Mama? ^^ oh, happy Parents' Day!!!

COEX Aquarium: part 1 (fresh water world)

Still on long vacation and 50% discount off during Children Day for admission at Coex aquarium would not be untouched by the eagerly enthusiastic kids like Eyra & Freya. 

Then, off we ventured into the world of aquarium at Coex. The 2nd time for the kids, actually. But, they sure still loved going there. 

The fresh water section was well, apart from being educational ..was not that brightly enchanting as the Seven Sea section...(more on this later on). 

So, judging from your expressions, you're sure enjoying your time here, right, gals? 

Oh, there was this section that really up to its ante...I mean.. 

all kinds of aquarium imaginable or unimaginable were all exhibited there.

Like this one. 

hoho..this is the highlight of the place, I assume. 

Even a washing machine aquarium? Oh, man.... 

Off we went into the mysterious section of Amazon. Oh, thanks to Rio, they now kind of learned that "oh, so is this where the blue macaw lives?" But..we're going to see fish, dear.....^^ 

Well, at least they're as enthusiastic as their Daddy was. ^^

Happy Children Day, kids.

Day and Dusk along Han River

yes...along Han River on our way to Coex to see Rio 2. We had a 5 pm show which meant only one thing: we got to leave home 1.5 hour earlier. 'Tis a beautiful day with bright sunshine along the way. As we're driving along the Han River, I couldn't help (like always) but taking my camera out and 'immortalize' the moment. Far beyond the under-construction Lotte Tower (would-be the tallest building --hence dubbed the tallest skyscraper of Seoul) is visible. 

Coex signage is visible which meant only one thing (again), it's time to cross the bridge and reach the Southern bank of the river (Gangnam area). 

In less than 5 minutes, we're approaching the main street of Gangnam (could be mistaken though) where the Coex and WTC were located--the place we're heading to). 

Since it's 퇴근시간 (gee what is it in English...:( !! ) anyway...we're stuck in a traffic. But, wait..it's Saturday and no one's working or supposed to be working..so it meant only one thing...people do flock to this area considering its fame. 

--------- 

We just finished watching the movie and since dusk was approaching,we rushed ourselves to get back home. And..snap!! The sunset over Seoul Tower (beyond) was breathtaking in reality...but...*ginger* ..^^ my camera could not do justice to the beauty of that Saturday evening. 

another view...not so proud to be shared..but posted it here anyway. 

Then,we're heading towards the lanes leading to the intersection that would take us home...with (again and again) the landmark of Seoul--The Seoul Tower--in its background. 

The twilight set in. 

Nothing so eerily beautiful like this. I mean..for a vampire* like me (?) whose main transportation is (underground+dark) subway....having a chance to snap a picture of twilight like this....was of course..a moment not to be missed.  

A sight to behold. (at least for me....for a vampire* like me). 

Hmm...okay. It's nice to change the way I see Seoul like this one.

*vampire: I consider myself as a vampire since I almost never see daylight on my daily routines due (thanks) to Seoul subway.^^
