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.^^

COEX Mall's Facade

 OTW to Bongeunsa: another story to tell. I might as well write down something about the time when we stopped at Samseong station where COEX mall was located.
The story was not about the mall itself, but more about what we did with the time when we were passing by the mall that day.

THe COEX mall sprung up for miles and miles if we ever happen to circle all the corners of the mall. It is connected with the World Trade Center and other convention and exhibition (coex) halls. 

The glass tower was rejuvenating the facade of Gangnam area.
International trade and business world-related endeavors seem to be mingled and mixed up in one-stop service & state of the arts' facilities.




What I could remember most from our passing-by trip through the glass high-rise mall was that it was a clean & well-spent afternoon.



The sun was about to set that time. See the glowing sun light being reflected on the surface of the building?
It does show how tall the building is.

I think the architecture of the building somewhat gives a different look to Gangnam area, especially when seen from across the river from the Gangbuk area.
