Gangnam

Google Buzz

Gangnam-gu is one of the mos affluent districts in Seoul. The area is teeming with high end boutiques, trendy cafes, luxury hotels, and mega high rise condos. If you want to watch the power shoppers in action then Gangnam is certainly one of the places to people watch.

Besides the shopping opportunities, I really liked the design of some of the buildings in the area. Above is the Novotel hotel and below is the Ritz Carlton.

The Kyobo Insurance building. The rest of the photos are just shots I caputred while wandering around in the morning. You can reach Gangnam by subway lines 2, 3, and 7. Now go explore!

    That pink building is impressively hideous. Remind me if I ever come to own a building not to paint it pink…
