Some other bits of Gangnam
Gangnam west
A small number of disappointingly bland photos await, plus a pile of vegetables in brown mush. Enjoy.
Not quite my last dinner of the trip, that will be tomorrow, but after my last hike, it was time for curry. I needed it early because I was starving.
Running out of boring stuff to talk about, so really all I did was check out the back streets of the far side of Gangnam and the malls that connect the train stations together. There were a lot of people, coughing in harmony from their terrible vape lung.
Back above ground and there were a lot of hills to climb, not just any hills, the famous Gangnam hills, where the streets are narrow, the cafes are plentiful and the real estate is expensive.
The back streets are all very interesting. The row of blue chairs on the right are to line up and wait for a seat at the crab shack. Currently, there is no line.
I became a bit shaky so decided to have an earlier dinner. Coco this time, not as good as Korean knock off brand Abiko, but still pretty good. Vegetarian omurice for me.
Back to the main road, and they have provided a bus stop in the middle of the road for people to stand at and take photos of traffic.
View of bus stop area. And also Gangnam.
Over to the west side of the street now for a bit more back street action.
The buildings are all shiny. I think I have taken this photo before.
Then since I found my dinner early on, it was time for an early night, via the underground.
Tomorrow is not a hiking day. It could have been. I have a 'spare' day in Seoul in case of rain preventing any of the hikes that are now completed. There was no rain. So as I often say, I have no plan.
