Lotte World is incorporated into Jamsil station and a shopping mall, often mingling beyond their own divided borders throughout the space. It was exceptionally confusing on my first day, and my coworker provided a very detailed photographic guide for me to find him that first run, and even so, it was fraught with issues. For one thing, telling me to meet him at Lotte Burger sounded good in theory, until I found a secondary location hidden in a corridor where my coworker had little reason to explore (and therefore no prior knowledge of). You can grab a quick bite at any number of restaurants, from the multiplicity of Lotte Burgers to sit-down cold noodles and sushi, bibimbap or kimbap a-plenty (from small stalls or major fast food chains). There are SO many different places selling clothes- from the mall proper at one end of the complex, to the underground market on the other end full of affordable tweenage styles and fast fashion, so you can get your newest styles after a day of fun at Lotte World- and if that's not enough you could even grab your groceries in the large subterranean market! The main point I'm getting at, albeit slowly and a bit convolutedly, is that you could get most of your needs taken care of or tended to while safely inside in the confines of the Jamsil station/Lotte World shopping mega-complex. There's little to no need for any visitor to step outdoors... unless, of course, you really wanted to explore the area and maybe take in the Olympic Park after a scenic walk. I would step out to vape when I could find a quiet, isolated area, or I'd enjoy my lunch out in the grassy area near a micro-convenience store hidden inside the building's outer periphery. It was on one of these outings that I discovered these illuminations, seeking a brief solace from the crowds inside before braving the long (and often crowded) commute back home.
Certainly not the worst of surprises, huh?
So let this be a reminder to you to stop and enjoy the little things, deviate from the norm, at least every once in awhile.
Until next time!
