Places to Go... in Seoul!!! :-) # 37

<< Jeongdong Gil >>
Wake Me up When October Ends~

And now in the early Nov, I would like to introduce one of the most gorgeous spot during autumn in Seoul!:-)

Jeongdong is the area I recommend to stroll around in autumn. Jeongdong area starts where Deoksu Palace is located.

The famous "Jeongdong gil(road)" includes Deoksu Palace Road, Museum Road, and Jeongdong Road. Deoksu Palace Road is a road along the doldam(stone wall) gil(Rd) of Deoksu Palace leading to Deoksu Elementary School. Jeongdong Rd is a road between Jeongdong Church and Kyunghyang Newspaper. And, Museum Rd is a road between Jeongdong Church and Paichai Jeongdong Building.

While walking along the "Doldam gil," strollers can find Deoksu Palace, Seoul Museum of Art, Jeongdong Theater, C2 building, C2 Square building (where "Sponge House" is located <--I featured this on my blog!), and small restaurants and cafes.

It is a refreshing and sentimental place to walk around with families, friends and loved ones.

Don't wait any moment because winter is coming soon and capture the last moment of autumn~ :-)

And here are the pictures of Jeongdong gil below...

<< "the Sponge House" >>

These days in Seoul, the theater industry is dominated by major companies. As a result, many small yet local and private style theaters are closing...

However, in this harsh market environment, the "Sponge House" is still popular among those who know how to serenely enjoy movies with close friends, lovers, and family!

compared to those "big" movie theaters, the "Sponge House" is a small theater that shows only few selected movies (they tend to be either famous ones or ones that are not easily shown in other "big" theaters)

Due to its character it's more suitable for a person who wants to enjoy movies by her or himself or couples seeking unique experiment or those who do not like boisterous and too public atmosphere that typical "big" theaters provide.

Sponge House has three houses! One in Gwang Hwa Mun area, another in Apgujung dong, and the other in JungAng area (near Euljiro and Myung dong)

the "Sponge House"'s official website is~
