Looks Like Old Town Sinheung-ro Area

Amid the modernity and futuristic world of kpop, creative drama and movies, high-tech designers and efficient management of the people-moving-function, there exists between them the alleys of humanity. Of the old town. These are captured in fascination, since some of the scenes are just what I had when I was younger.
 

Eggs, papers, pamphlets in a mess, that's very old town in some rivers of of memory.

Bike and shoes, 30 years ago it was just like that.



Hilly terrain gives so much more texture and perspective.

The little Korean coffee shop pops up everywhere, even in this seemingly sleepy neighbourhood.

Seoul Sunset From Sinheung-ro

On Thursday, I went for Kongbubang's Level 1. It starts late at 7.30pm. To make the day exciting, I set out early about 3pm to the Itaewon area to find that little booth selling all the ppang. Next I did a slightly modified walking trail into north of Noksapyeong, into the hilly area called Sinheung-ro.

What a tremendous view and timing. Olympus EPL1.

Using the light source from the lamppost, plus the church, to combine with the blue lights from the tower.

Sandwich between old-style Korean buildings. This area is kind of ancient. And modern looks so close by.



Lamp post provides brilliant colours and warmth.

This route was "easier" than the week before. It is the same area Sinheung-ro.
