Life in Korea, Anecdotally

Some of my more interesting thoughts from my first month in Korea…

An Afternoon at 청계천 (Cheong Gye Cheon)

Yesterday, I spent most of the late afternoon and early evening at 청계천 (Cheong Gye Cheon), a stream that flows west to east through central Seoul.  The restoration of the stream was completed in 2005 and aimed to create “a human-centered, ecological-friendly urban area in a city that has been the nation’s capital for 600 years” (taken from the description of the restoration posted by the stream’s starting point).
