Available at your local mall

...Provided you live in Seoul, that is. All of these pictures are from one visit to COEX mall. It is hard to believe so much is packed into one building, even if it is "the largest underground shopping complex in Asia." At the arcade, we found this nice children's game called, "Poka Poka Satan":

Or, you could take a "Magical Truck Adventure" by pumping an old-time railroad trolley. I call the Elvis character!!!


Once you've spent all the quarters you've earned raking leaves and mowing lawns, you can enjoy some free fun by playing on the interactive light-up floor, in the middle of the walkway through the mall, where you are certainly NOT in everyone's way.


You can get some help from an information booth attendant who just came from a production of The Great Gatsby. (By the way, this is the uniform they ALL wear, at ALL the malls, not just one wierdo.)
Or, you can talk to a monkey, bear, or any of the other fuzzy-costumed characters wandering around.

Unfortunately, we couldn't get a good picture of the dance contest that was being held in center court, but just picture the nerdy Asian guy from your college math class doing some bad hip-hop moves. We've heard rumors that malls not only hold daily dance contests, but also fights on the weekends, so we'll have to check that out and let you know.
