Water, umbrellas, curves and play
Seoul got fountains. Like, a lot of them. Both in public squares and places, and like here, inside a shopping mall. It looks like a lot of fun for the kids running and playing with the water, too. Probably very important even on a grey and gricht foggy summer day.
The Mecenatpolis Mall was a fairly new mall in a rapidly developing Hapjeong neighborhood in downtown Seoul when I visit. It was the closest major shopping area to my hotel, and close to a major metro station.
Public transport and market spot
Which was the reason I choose this hotel. Getting around major cities in Asia starts with finding accomodation near public transport hubs. Then easy access to basic staples like water and food.
Unless, of course, part of the sought after travelling experience is spending hours in a taxi queueing sloooooowly in carfilled, crowded city streets.
Worth a visit
I found the food and grocery stalls and shops on the outside of this complex most interesting. But a walk inside gave a view to a modern, colourful and visual very interesting design. Just as a lot of modern malls in a lot of Asians cities are these days.
Making them interesting spot to visit. Even for not so heavy shoppers like me. See more photos from Mecenatpolis Mall.
