I had an amazing time at Shinsegae Centum City in Busan today. It's not only the world's largest department store but also an incredible destination for food lovers and shopping enthusiasts alike. The variety at the food court was outstanding, with delicious dishes like 수제비 (hand-pulled dough soup) and 주먹밥 (rice balls) that truly hit the spot.

Shinsegae isn't just big; it's a colossal emporium where every visit feels like an event. Highly recommended for anyone...

The lifts did operate rather efficiently though, which was an issue for some malls or hotels when they have a huge crowd.
Mall itself was lacking footfall though, definitely need some events and popular stores to drive crowd, and certainly better signage to help direct...
