That complex is relatively new and a little too sterile for techies. I think it is pretty much for tourist and the locals that don’t want to hassle with searching for what they want. Were you able to go across the walkway and down all the small streets and into the back buildings? I personally love Yongson because it can be a little like a treasure hunt. You really can find some pretty cool stuff. I also didn’t see anything posted about Wi-Bro, I think you call it Wi-Max in North America. Right now it covers all of Seoul and I was informed that it will cover all of Korea sometime next year. The shops they have set up to market the service and support it are pretty crazy good. It would have definitely been worth a post. By the way, (or you may have seen this while you were in Korea – ‘Buy the Way’) I dig your blog. I may not make it everyday but when I have time I make sure to catch up. Peace! From your pictures it doesn’t look like you made it out of the subway complex.
