Yuksam Station

The area around Yuksam station (in Gangnam) is pretty corporate. I got off the subway randomly to explore and I was the only one in the hood not wearing a suit. It felt semi-financial districtish.

Can you spot the image on the black building? Hint: it has to do with soccer (shocker)

My View Walking to the Subway

I have a great view depending on the pollution level of the day. Some days you can't see the mountains at all. I actually did not realize there were mountains beyond these buildings until my 4th day here because the smog is overwhelming. This morning I got lucky, pretty don't you think?

Itaewon

Itaewon is where the foreigners hang out. While the rooftop bar I went to was mostly white, the streets felt New Yorkerish due to the mixing of all different kinds of people. Also, rooftops bars are rarer here because people generally like to be pale and avoid the sun at all costs. It was a nice change.

This is where to go if you want a burger or vodka.

Did I just teleport back to Wiliamsburg?

I went sight seeing around Hong Deh University which is hipsterville of Seoul. You know you're close to hipsters when you see a guy with dreads and plaid on the subway.

Anything a hipster might need
Ugly rompers
Shorts with tights
Plaid
Chucks
