Lotte's Rooftop Garden & Little Zoo

There are so many ways that a department shop can do to entice customers to keep coming back to its store.

One of them is by building a free-entrance to the rooftop garden specially designed for its customers. 

On Sunday, April 13, 2014. We took the kids to a nearby mall..not to do shopping but to let them explore what it had to offer on its rooftop garden. 

Well...who would've thought that this rooftop ..perched on the 9th floor or 10th floor (since it's on the top of 9th floor) ...could make any child smile from ear to ear? 

They could feed ducks freely to their heart's content.:) literally. 

Or...running to dodge the sprinkles!!! 

or..again...feeding the ducks. 

or..again..feeding the ducks.:^0^ 

and this is what the roof-top garden looks like. Nothing much to see..but sure it accommodates people's need to change the life-pace in the crowded city like Seoul. 

#I let the kids sit on the rocking chair..while someone helped them out...swinging it.^^ THank you, Mr. 

A Short Visit to Cheongnyangi

We're passing through the thoroughfare in front of the Cheongnyangni Station which turned out to be full of alluring flowers. Spring time spirit apparently adorned the plaza. 

Just couldn't get enough of the flowers. 

I know they're designed that way but..who cares when all that it did for onlookers was beyond expectation? It soothed the sore-eyes:)

As for the kids, again and again..they always had time to play around with what they could come up with. 

The cheerfulness of the kids and the colorful display of flowers....seemed to compensate for the hazy smog and the not-that-bright-day that day! 

Open bazaar with not-that-cheap-stuffs at the station plaza ..characterized by mostly the cone-shaped white tents...became one of the blaring facades that day.
