I took these pictures of my neighborhood about two months ago when I got back from India and Vietnam and life was cold and dreary. Lots of stuff in East Asia is just plain quirky - from mailboxes and advertisements to abandoned phone booths in a land where smartphone usage is the highest in the world. I won't miss Korea's Siberian winters (they are much worse than anything I've experienced in the Midwest, trust me) but I will be nostalgic for these little things.
My mailbox - top left.
A mysterious door outside of my apartment villa (right) leading to somewhere.
Teal telephone boxes that haven't been used for a decade or so.
A little "no parking" sign.
A little dried chili pepper shop just across the street from a grocery mart. Amazes me every time!
My street. Quiet and close to running trails - just the way I like it.
Abandoned classifieds I never take the time to actually understand.
Part of my daily 2-minute commute/walk to work.
Korea: land of the apartment high-rises. LG air conditioners are definitely a ubiquitous symbol of South Korea.
