BlingBlingLyn: Cheongdamdong Street in SEOUL KOREA, Gangnam Style

Cheongdamdong Street and little history about Gangnam in SEOUL KOREA

Hi everyone^^

Have you ever heard of Cheongdamdong Street in Seoul, Korea?

Many of you would probably know Psy's Gangnam Style?

I also bet you know that Gangnam is the centre of Seoul and is wellknown for luxuries, pretty girls and the riches.

Here "Gang" means the 'river' and 'Nam' means the 'south' which come to mean the south part of the river, NOT the north.

This famous Hanriver crosses right accross the centre of city 'Seoul'. At first, the area 'Gangnam' just meant to be the south part of the river but some 20 years later, it has become the landmark of city Seoul. And the area called "Gangnam" also came to mean not just the south of Hanriver, but also one particular area of Seoul for the riches, pretties and all the luxuries, and for you all the plastic surgery doctors perhaps>.<

Hahaha just kidding!

I used to ilve in Gangnam some 10 years ago until I graduated highschool and before coming to New Zealand.

At the time, the area was just the normal bit of Seoul. There was some area that was famous for those crazy helicopter moms who would do anything for their children's education and wellbeings, but wasn't that famous for the riches, pretties and luxuries.

It was actually the north of Seoul that had fames for the riches' habitation (called 'Seoungbuk-dong').

When I was 14 years old, one of my friend moved to the area now called 'Gangnam' and at the time, she was very shy to bring frirends to her place including myself as the apartment was very old and look like goast' house outside!

and now guess what?

Now I wish my mom and dad were little clever like her mom and dad!!>.<

The area had completely developed to the new landmark of Seoul and all those luckies and investors who plan to be or happen to be in the area can now officially be called the riches!!!!

It was like they bought the house for the price of brass and some years later became the 1st class diamonds!!!! >.<

Those who had moved out from Gangnam area back then now finds it very hard to move in back! Because the price measures are absolutely different!!!

Now about Cheongdam street~

This famous Cheongdam Street is the center of all the luxuries!!!!!!
