Gunsan City, where all of our bloggers are currently residing, has been modernized very quickly with its economic sucesses in the past years as far as I can remember living here since I was born in the city. But there isn't much space left in the popular areas. Which means some of the old need to be replaced to become anew.
There aren't many traditional buildings left in Korea that's worth keeping with constant maintenances. And even less so after Japanese visited Korea a century ago and changed the architectures into cheap concrete and metals. All of them are falling apart. Shame for the history, but they need to go.
Leif and I visited one of the oldest part of the city that is in years of process of eviction. There were some interesting angles, we took some photos, having ourselves entertained by a not-too-common experience in modern Korea. And these are the images of some of my picks.
