But all of the convention centers in Korea suffer from the same problem -- namely, that visitors from afar need beds to sleep in. Where are the hotels? Let's say this convention center is going to host small conferences of 1500 or so. Are there 1500 additional beds in the neighborhood, four-and five-star hotels? Is there anything to see outside the conference center. I live in easy walking distance of this location. The neighborhood is sorely lacking in the sorts of amenities necessary. Plus, doesn't a train rumble through about every 10 minutes? I have no doubt they'll build it.
