sam chong dong.
This is Samchongdong, the residential area. No tall apartment buildings here. The houses look traditional, but the insides of these homes have been renovated to have all the modern amenities. Or not, I guess it depends on the owners. But these homes are not all residential- i saw a few turned into design studios and hidden cafes.
Interesting art on the walls of people’s houses.
This is Korea’s version of graffiti, i guess. Creative, appealing to look at, yet defiant in its own way simply because it is defacing property. It’s cool how they keep it this way, though, and no one thinks about tagging over it.
A short walk down from the residential area are cute shops and cafes.
and studios.
What, they named a whole room after me!
Traditional neighborhood with starbucks spelled out in Korean.
Complete with a museum+cinema house where they show art and foreign films. The Godfather was playing.
