The coex mall

COEX Mall is an underground shopping mall located in Gangnam-gu Seoul, South Korea. It is Asia's largest underground shopping mall with an area of about 85,000 square metres.[1] The mall is located at Samseong-dong served by Samseong Station on Seoul Metro Line 2, at the intersection of Teheranno and Yeongdong Dae-ro.
Along with hundreds of shops, the mall houses two food courts, a 16-screen multi-cinema complex, an aquarium attraction, a large bookstore, and the Kimchi Field Museum. It also features a game area which is used to film computer game tournaments (for which South Korea is known) which are broadcast on local television. There are also stages inside and outside the mall for seasonal events and public appearances by celebrities.

The 2010 G-20 Seoul Summit was the fifth meeting of the G-20 heads of government, to discuss the global financial system and the world economy, which took place in Seoul, South Korea on November 11–12, 2010. Korea was the first non-G8 nation to host a G-20 Leaders Summit.
The theme of the summit was "G-20's Role in the Post-Crisis World."

FYI - President Obama was at the summit. No we didn't get to meet him but there was a big fuss! Bernie and I got to go to the coex mall and we were able to take pictures of some of the things that were put up for the G20 summit event. Check out the pictures!!
