ELECTRONICS MARKET (YONGSAN)
This is one huge electronics, hyper store. There are literally floors upon floors of electronics. These guys here are tough negotiators. Matter of fact, I bought a $200 USD camera for about $200. In other words, the folks here really don’t bargain. Not at all. They want your money but don’t need it badly.
Accessibility: The stores themselves are accessible. I took a subway here – I know – and the path to the entrance was quite difficult with ridiculous turn-styles. Maybe you’ll find a better way.
Getting There: I took the subway here years ago. That was a mistake as the route from the Subway to the entrance of this building presented many hurdles – turnstyles in particular. Take a cab.
LOTTE WORLD
This high octane entertainment center is on a very, very grand scale. Matter of fact, it holds the Guinness World Record with the largest indoor amusement park. It has retail shops galore, movie theatres, The Korean Folk Museum and millions of visitors (annually).
