Back to Itaewon...

After the museum, Ashlynn had to head to some castings so I wandered around Itaewon, my parent’s old neighborhood. In general my memory isn’t great, but from what I do remember, it has changed significantly including that there is now a subway station...

...some kooky store fronts...

...and some street art.

When I spotted this sign I was excited since this is where we once did much of our shopping from a maze of small shops selling mostly gray market items already tagged for exportation to America.

However, it was hard to tell if those type of shops still existed behind these painted walls...

...and doors or if they were permanently shuttered. 

Either way, I liked the paintings.

Much of the area was now filled with boutiques like you would find in any big city. 

I know I was still eating meat during my previous visits to Seoul, but hope I never had Bone Hangover Soup or Sundae Sausage.
