Points of the Compass

These pics are taken from the pedestrian bridge that crosses the busy street in back of my apartment building (the same one that has shown up in other pics). Not too exciting but the bridge is next to the supermarket that was about to open, and the day is sunny and bright.

First pic, to the north, you can see a "mountain" beyond the apartment buildings.

To the south is the central shopping/eating area, pedestrians only, that leads up to the subway station (straight at the end), which is the hub of life in many, many Seoul area cities and districts and neighborhoods. If you don't believe me or just want a quick peek at the extent of the system, type "seoul subway" into Google; or, if you're a lazy bastard like me, use this:

I'm on the bottom light blue line, and for an idea of size/length, it takes me 30 min. to ride maybe 1/4 of the way along that line.

Back to the pics. To the east some big company is building new apartments, maybe about 10 high rises going up at the same time. That's the way they do it in Korea. The hell with putting up a single building!:)

To the west is lots of boring stuff like more apartment buildings, with a peek at another "mountain".
