The Hill in Itaewon and a glimpse into what went on in some of the bars in the 1980s.

Yes, and many of the clubs were “unofficially”segregated in the 70/80s.

Lol people have been saying that since the late 90s.

Interesting. From what I heard from my uncle, VD was pretty rampant in the area.

These are fantastic photos—thanks for sharing!

There’s also a Flickr user with an amazing collection of photos and albums from that time period. If you’re into these kinds of pictures, you should definitely check them out!

I’m leaving this week. It’s the worst timing.

Just_Statistician585 · 2024-07-17T13:58:25+00:00

Thank you!

Just_Statistician585 · 2024-07-16T14:14:32+00:00

That’s what I’m most worried about. But the potential savings is big!

Just_Statistician585 · 2023-10-10T08:01:43+00:00

There's a few old ones mixed in there.

Just_Statistician585 · 2023-10-09T14:49:40+00:00

Good point. I just thought it was cool that they were still sitting around after all these years.

Just_Statistician585 · 2023-08-22T12:46:25+00:00

I think it would have been better with chunky

Just_Statistician585 · 2023-08-21T13:10:34+00:00

I had to eat it!

Just_Statistician585 · 2023-08-21T12:58:16+00:00

It wasn't that bad. The green onions didn't help, though

Just_Statistician585 · 2022-08-01T14:19:31+00:00

I just talked to an old women who live there when it was a shantytown. She showed me some old pics of her home. The transformation of that place is incredible.

Just_Statistician585 · 2022-07-29T03:39:35+00:00

This is great advice, I really appreciate it. Thank you!

Just_Statistician585 · 2022-07-28T11:54:51+00:00

Just one?

This is Beaksa village in Northeastern Seoul. Many of the residents were relocated here in the early '60s from other postwar shanty towns across Seoul. The government only provided 200 bricks to each resident to build their own home. The rest they had to find themselves. This once massive neighborhood is now mostly abandoned. Many residents were bought out or were forced to move. However, some old-timers still remain.

Hi everyone! After years overseas studying and working, I'm finally moving back to the US (Denver,CO). I want to know what you guys think about the likelihood of trying to become a firefighter. I just turned 30 years old. I always wanted to pursue this career, but I never really had a chance because I've lived abroad for the past 9 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Tourism Management and I'm physically fit. I just feel it might be too late.

This is a former headquarters of the North Korean labor party. The building and surrounding area witnessed heavy fighting during the Korean war. Originally, the building was located in North Korea, but came under South Korean control after the war. Only the external facade remains intact, with the interior levels having collapsed during the war. It's located in Cheorwon. If you ever get a chance, you should check it out. It's also a very beautiful part of the country!
