IKEA in Seoul

Submitted by on


Happy Lunar Year to all my friends in the blogworld! Welcome to the year of the Sheep :)

It is a time of the year when Seoul is empty as this is a time when Seoulites visit their family back in their hometowns. So, we took this opportunity to visit the massive IKEA Furniture store that has opened on the outskirts of Seoul. It took 2 subway transfers and one taxi ride to reach that place.

IKEA has been so crowded ever since it was opened in Korea few months back. That is why we took this opportunity to go there on a less crowded day.
2nd biggest IKEA
This supposed to be the 2nd biggest IKEA store in the world. Believe me, it was massive. We just skimmed over the store. The chocolates were the reason we went there in the first place :)

 The store was not so crowded as it was a few months ago, it was still filled with shoppers doing their holiday gift shopping.

As usual, the furniture there were stylish, cheap and colorful

Thankfully, it was not too crowded on this day!

Beautifully packaged furniture.
 Not wanting to do 2 transfers back home, we decided to take the KTX back. The KTX station is so close to the IKEA, only 10minutes by walk.

I slipped on the station while climbing down the stairs and ended up having a sprain and out of commission for 2 days atleast :(
