Busan: Family Trip (part 5)

After about 30 minute subway ride that made us a bit tired, we decided that we'd like to have it slow this time. So, upon arriving at the CENTUM city subway station, we took a rest at a meeting venue where people were sitting while enjoying the passers by and its Lotte-signatur, i.e Grecian(?) Statues. Freya was playing around at the pool.

Taking a snap shot at the station before continuing our adventure....

Purple in the making...^^

Just adjacent to the Lotte's statues, we saw a gateway to Shinsegae's Dept. Store.

Ok, Freya...just make sure that you kept yourself still till Daddy took the pic. out of you...^^

Well, since I already posted an entry about this store, I'm just going to jot down about where and what we were looking at...

Enjoying the afternoon lessons of ice-skating kids. Well, for only as much as 5000 Won, kids were able to enjoy the skating course for one hour and extendable... 

Off we went into the roof-top garden. I bet it was on the 9th floor or something. The last time I went here, I did not see this section of scenery.^^ Eyra and Freya were so excited to be there...

The blue sky, typical of Busan sky^^, the sky-rocketing (literally and figuratively) apartments

....and the blue ocean yonder...

Another look of the sky....rocketing sky and apartment...^^

More..more and more...

Somewhat different hue of scenery. It was on the rooftop garden of the Shinsegae's mall.

Well, who would have thought that it would suit everyone's taste..be it being there for shopping or just relaxing...

Despite the afternoon heat of late summer in August, we were somehow managed to enjoy soaking ourselves in Busan's sun and sea...

Another look of BIFF venue (Busan International Film Festival); seen from atop the rooftop garden of Shinsegae Dept. Store...

The majestic(?) tree that somehow signified or symbolized the green nature of  its store...

Back to the station of Centum City...in front of the Grecian-style sculptures ..

Freya & Eyra were absorbed into water splashing playtime....

Dynamic Busan: part 19 (ICE SKATE RINK)

Dubbed as being the largest department store in the world, Centum City's Shinsaegae Busan surely has a lot to offer to its customers and tourists: local and foreigners alike.

What could be more fun than skating on ice during the scorching heat of the summer. So, this is exactly what this ice-stake rink has to offer. 

When we went there, it was not a peak hour and...it was not weekend, as well. What entailed was like a  whole amusement park for some of our pack buddies.

This ice-rink was not that big but considering that this is partially a part of a department store...not a mall, this  makes sense as to why this department store boasts to be the largest of its kind in the world. 

Malls do have ice skating rink...but they are not within the stores...this one...is just next to the stores that sells clothes^^ 

The waiting area and the skate rentals. With ample facilities that this skate rink has, I think one could just easily sneak out of its routine activities and have a few minuter or one hour ride on the skate to cool one's down. ^^

Why not try yourself and go for a skating day?
For the locals,  I think, this facility might add to their comfort in terms of leisure activities.
Who would not want to be there?
Visit-meter: **** out of 5.
