CoEx Crowds

I spent most of Saturday in Seoul, at the Coex Mall, evidently the largest mall in the city. It was a cool place, with hundreds upon hundreds of stores, a large arcade, and the Coex Mall Aquarium - the main attraction.

The aquarium houses a large variety of sea-creatures; many fish, crabs, sharks, and even Penguins. Unfortunately, there weren't very many signs in English, so it made the experience a little less informative than it could've been. Still, there were some unique aspects to it:

There was a 'household' area, where they managed to put fish in unique settings: In the sink, in the toilet, in the fridge. Pretty creative!

The downside of a large mall in Seoul on a Saturday, though, is that the crowds are ridiculously big. Between the thousands of people in the Subway and the thousands of people in the mall, I was thankful not to be claustrophobic.

The highschoolers on Friday ended up being a breeze; the lessons went by quite well, and the girls (it was an all-girls high-school) were... lets say.. giddy upon seeing me. At the end of one of the classes, I was asked if it was okay for them to take a picture - after I said yes, they all decided to take out their cameras/camera phones and take a picture.

I've never been photographed by 14 people all at once, before. Korea's got a way to bolster people's egos.

Cheers!

PS: Penguins.
