Can't take the LACK of heat? Go inside!

It’s cold!

I know that Sundays are the perfect time to stroll down your favorite street and pick a random café, restaurant, or shop and take your time at a slow pace. Or maybe go hiking up the mountain in your backyard, or walk along the stream in your front yard. Or just see how far you can get across the city you call your home away from home.

But it’s cold…
So why not look at your other choices?

Seoul is filled with underground markets. Try out Express Bus Terminal. It’s well heated and goes FOREVER! Shops there vary from clothing, to shoes, lamps to knickknacks, and it is also home to many food and coffee establishments. For the more, high-end, there’s Coex, but it’s not the Mall itself, but the shops inside that give it the real attraction points. The Cinema is great main reason to go, but why not spend your time before that at some of their candy shops, foreign food outlets, designer clothing shops, game rooms (both video and board varieties) plus one of their 500 Starbucks Coffee Shops.
If you’d rather go above ground, try one of the towering markets of Dongdaemun? There are several by the future site of the “history and culture park” (written in quotes due to a current lack of both history and culture). If you are handier to Myeongdong Station, there are similar establishments there. For the pricier Sunday out, try the 63 Building, known for being tall to Koreans and quaint to those from other large cities.
If you consider yourself a hot-blooded individual, by all means enjoy the sunny day with the polar bears and penguins. The same parks, streets and streams, as well as the shops nearby will all be open as usual. Unless the owner decides it’s too cold and sleeps in… which sometimes happens. If you do take this route to Sunday invigoration, please be smart and bundle up. If you don’t have the proper hat and gloves, you can by them on any given street in Korea. They might not keep you warm, but at least they’re trendy, and people will think they are keeping you warm and won’t need to feel bad for you. Now, don’t you feel better?

Enjoy your day!
