I keep coming back to this area I think because the buildings and structures are unusually low for a Korean city, particularly when compared with the district where I live. This shopping area stretches downhill and is a hive of activity nearly all day. Even at 10pm you see high school girls walking around with their boyfriends arm in arm. This is really striking to me, maybe because they aren't out drinking or inflicting damage on something, which would probably be the case if it was a European city.
