Day 12: COEX

For the last site visit, we went to a Buddhist temple and then went to COEX, a mall and exhibition center. I thought the Buddhist temple was so gorgeous. The colorful lanterns were so pretty to walk through, and I really enjoyed looking at the fine paintings on the side of some of the buildings. We then got to see the Gangnam Style hands statue, which was really cute! There were even little kids doing the dance! Afterward, we ate at the COEX mall and went into one of the large exhibition rooms. They were hosting an international travel exhibit, where we saw people from all over the world. There were people wearing cultural outfits as well as interactive games, photo booths, and live cultural performances.

Lastly, we got to go to the top floor of the building, where we had a view of Seoul. It was great to take pictures there and see all of the buildings from above. It was impressive how many buildings and cars there were all around.
