A Decent Place to Just Hang

A Decent Place to Just Hang

The mall is decent. It's fairly big and has a large variety of stores. It's a pretty standard mall that looks nice. If you're in Seoul for awhile, it's a nice place to go to to just kick back... but if you don't have that much time, there are other shopping places that are cheaper and more fun to visit, like the outside street shopping at Namdaemun, Myeong-dong, Dongdaemun, or a more cultural area for souvenirs like Insa-dong.

The mall is really clean though... and has other things to do besides shopping such as the aquarium. That's always a plus.

Right outside the mall has a few Western restaurant like Bennegan's... but of course these restaurants will be pricy.

I made a few trips while stationed in Korea from March 2004-2005. I am sure I didn't get to see everything it has to offer, as this place is enourmous and I am unable to really understand the Hangul language. The Aquarium is worth the price of admission. There is a T.G.I. Friday's restaurant located in the food-court, however, I recommend eating the local cuisine. The movie theatre is also quite a sight. The stores rival your typical American-style stores and, to my finding, we're somewhat expensive. If you have time to walk around or a day to kill while visiting Seoul, I would recommend.

It is HUGE!! It's just not like any mall (see below for an added info). My feet hurt after walking around that place. It's an underground mall that stretches a mile down each strip. There's over eight strips (from what I counted). You can get lost, so make sure you landmark where you started. We also went ICE SKATING at the mall! It's only $1! That includes the skates and however long you want to skate for. CHEAP! It's an interesting mall. If you flew Asiana or Korean Air, you can check in at this mall. You can go through customs, check bags, get your plane ticket, and everything! You just need to ride a bus to Incheon Airport or Gippoh Airport. The cost of bus is about $13 and leaves every 10 to 20 minutes.
