NOWON-GU!
We have a little joke (if it can be aptly called that?), and so this photo is called 'No-one in Nowon'. The picture is taken from the stairs, at exit 3 of Nowon Yok (or subway station, which is better described as an up-way staion since it is perched about 10 metres above the street).
This is the street leading down to Nowon station which runs perpendicular to the shopping area, and restaurant/bar area. It is always like this; wall to wall humanity.
Street vendors selling everything from cheap watches, shoe polishing services, to mandhu and street meat! Unfortunately Nowon is pretty much fourty minutes by subway, from the middle of Seoul, Chongno, Myongdong and City Hall, but for the most part I like living here.
Tangkogae is only 15 minutes walk away, and that has the feel of a lovely small town, also one can hike in the mountains after only five minutes walk.
Just a shot showing
the somewhat vibrant vertical advertising by night.
Although Nowon is one of the most distant areas of Seoul, it is
still somewhat vibrant, exciting and action packed.
