I got off the subway station at Gangnam square and saw this two story information center. I walked in to inquire about the area and two staff members helped orientate me to the area and I walked away with plenty of things to do. Not to mention, if you go upstairs you get to try traditional Korean musical instruments and dress. A great, quick recommended stop when in this neighborhood.

We were exploring the Gangnam area when we stumble into this Samsung d'lite exhibition storefront. We did not know what to expect and thought perhaps it was a retail store for all Samsung products. For sure there is an level that does sell retail current electronic devices but it is much more than that. This building highlights Samsung's latest technologies and is a global exhibition place that exhibits the latest product lineups. Where else can you try the latest in Samsung products and experience interactive devices. It was very much an educational experience to learn about the production of products and to view future product developments. You can easily spend two hours there and the best of all is that it is free!
