Visit Seoul: Gangnam

It was a rainy day in Seoul, but we took the bus to the 3rd largest city - Gangnam.

Most people know Gangnam from the popular song Gangnam Style, and there is actually a monument dedicate to Psy and this song (complete with a video monitor so you can dance and sing along, if you wish).

The statue is located right outside the Starfield COEX Mall - a huge underground mall with over 200 stores, restaurants, an aquarium, a movie theater, and more.

A centerpiece of the mall is the Starfield Library.  The towers of books are quite a sight!

We did some shopping at the mall, ate at McDonald's, then explored the area a bit more.

We even made sure to stop at Baskin-Robbins Brown - a must-stop for any ice cream lover.

Aside from the world-famous song, Gangnam has been popular for it's trendy, luxury shops.   Although that kind of shopping is not our style, it was fun to visit the COEX mall while we were in Gangnam!
