This is me on my first subway ride in Seoul.

I’m playing catch-up. Here are some pictures from my very first days living in Korea.

I present to you Home Plus. My first love in Korea. My home away from home. A 24-hour mega-store owned and operated by Samsung and Tesco that dwarfs Wal-Mart.

This entire structure is occupied by Home Plus. There are 6 levels of entertainment and retail. Only the top 4 levels are above ground. The top level is an indoor golf range with electronic course play.

The 3rd floor includes a food court, photo center, vision center, bookstore, kiddie center, and various other shops. The 2nd floor comprises of clothing and home goods. The entire 1st floor is full of electronics. Everything from tv’s to washing machines to batteries and computers.

The 1st underground floor offers more home goods. The entire 2nd underground floor is a supermarket with lots of very ‘natural’ offerings such as entire fish, octopi, meats, and every imaginable type of produce. You will also find a comprehensive cosmetic center. Help is always around the corner at Home Plus. Their staff is constantly cleaning, organizing, stacking, and offering a hand. Always with a smile!
