its not quite the same..

I’ve discovered a new side to Seoul which isn’t quite the same as the rest of South Korea.

This photo was taken somewhere in Seoul when we drifted away from Myeongdong (the crazy shopping district).. I’m really into architecture like this building, and sadly, there aren’t many of them here..

I just like this photo because it is symmetrically interesting and the colours are very bright… and also, when I was taking this photo, that BMW came out of nowhere and tried to run me over..

This photo was taken in Hongdae - the club scene in Seoul. However, during the day, it is a whole new story. I really liked it too! It was a much needed diversion away from the usual tackiness of Korea…

So graffiti exists in Korea! What a pleasant surprise!! The walls near Hongik  University are covered in graffiti and some of them are really artistic.. This is probably one of the first real trash cans I’ve seen in Korea..

I came across this Lounge/Bar called Circus. The doors were like the metal ones you see at a horse stable, and on the top were objects stuck on it: a rocking-horse, a vintage TV, a stool… and you know my obsession with rocking-horses and weird-looking things! This is absolutely my kind of scene!

A Star Wars Cafe. What more need I say?

These are just a few photos from my weekend roamings. Seriously, I did just roam around in Seoul all weekend. But it was so much fun! I saw so many interesting things and people and pretty alleyways. Maybe you don’t think the same way as I do, but I often find beauty in the most unexpected places. I like places that are old, and rich and lived. New things often don’t appeal to me as much because I like to wonder what the story  was behind that…
