COEX

Lunched today with my mother's high school friends, some of whom I hadn't seen since (my) infancy.

. . .

We spent the rest of the day at COEX in Gangnam. We could probably spend the rest of the week here, too: this place is massive. Located within the Korean World Trade Center complex, COEX holds a 900,000+ square ft. underground COEX shopping center, two food courts, the Seven Luck Casino, an aquarium, two luxury hotels, a movie theater, a convention center, and a kimchi museum. Boom.
