Digital Media City

Here’s a few pictures of our neighborhood.  They are currently in a major building spree.  In 2015, you will hear about DMC as they open the worlds tallest observation deck and the 2nd world’s tallest building.

This city also has a reputation for having the worlds longest art gallery, which is all around the future buildings about to be built.  Here’s a few of my favorites.  I’m curious about so many cat art work because so far I’ve only seen 1 cat in the agriculture market (probably to catch the mice at night) and 2 cats at our neighbor’s house, which they brought with them from the US.  Koreans are not so much into their pets.  I do see more dogs than cats though.  Animals are not a big part of their lives.

I’ve never seen more fish (dead and alive) in my life though.  Everywhere you go restaurants have live fish and octopus living in a tank until there time has come. 

We live right near World Cup Stadium.  If you’re a soccer fan, I suspect you know this place.  They also have a really big park next to it.  Very nice place to relax.

Erica to the rescue!  Erica is a friend of our co-worker and she helped me out the 2nd week we were here.  She was such a delight to get to know and I really enjoyed her company.  She helped me get around the first week and helped me navigate the supermarkets, agriculture hall and the bus system.

Stature in our neighborhood.  Tonight we learned it lights up at night.

The buildings here are so cool and modern.
