Perhaps you are a fan of the movie Inception and want to experience what it feels like to disappear into a frustrating and endless layered maze which will test your mental resilience to its absolute limits? Luckily, if you live in Seoul, all you have to do is take a subway from Dongdaemun to Jongno 3-ga on line 1 and then try and make your way to exit 5.
Unfortunately I had to discover this today whilst trying to get to the Nagwon arcade to buy a microphone before 7pm closing time. I departed the train at 6.30 and didn’t see daylight for a further 20 minutes after navigating my way through a series of Wonderland-esque passages, stairways and escalators where I finally emerged dripping with sweat and bubbling with tension.
It would have probably been easier and less frustrating if I had just blindfolded myself and somersaulted to Nagwon arcade directly from my school in Suyu.
I didn’t even buy anything.
Word, that place is really confusing. The signs around that station aren’t of any help either.
