Times Square in Korea

This past weekend Zak, Joe, and myself visited the Times Square in Yeongdeungpo. It is just south of the river in Seoul, and one train stop before Seoul Station. We haven't had the chance to visit "Times Square" yet (which ironically is not a square at all.. more like a group of 8 story buildings... but here in Korea you build UP not OUT!) and since we wanted to see the new movie "The Green Hornet" I knew that Yeongduengpo had a 4D theater to see it in. Probably the coolest thing about seeing movies in Korea is being able to see them in 4D. You have the water, wind, lazers, random punches in the back, etc. IT IS AWESOME. :)

When we got off the train in Yeongduengpo we had to walk a few blocks to get to Times Square, it was frigid cold and I didn't think about bringing an extra jacket layer over my thick sweater (silly me thinking I am in Florida). But when we entered the main building I discovered that apparently Times Square is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon...


I title this... how many people can you fit on an escalator? (Actually I need to photograph how many people can fit in an elevator.. you would be surprised!.. I have been in an elevator that wouldn't move due to having too much weight in it.)


Zak waiting in line at Smoothie King, it was so busy that you needed a pager.


OMG!! Auntie Anne's!!!!!! In Korea! This is the #1 thing I said that I missed from the states, a yummy soft pretzel from Auntie Anne's. Unfortunately I didn't eat one because I just had lunch, but I am totally going back to get one!!!!


Zak heading into the 4D theater!


After the movie we were heading out for some dinner and saw this neat statue..


And me walking to dinner (freezing my arse off)


And finally, here is our dinner (Joe I forgot what this was called please chime in in the comments and let me know the proper name!) It was pressure cooked chicken with noodles and vegetables, sooooo good:


Thanks for reading, we just visited the Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, a blog to follow soon!!
