There goes the neighbourhood

Here's some pics of my neighbourhood I took today while taking a walk to this little coffee shop round the corner form my house.

Today was the first time I tried to order a meal on my own with limited knowledge of the korean language............ there were a lot of blank stares going back and forth between the cashier and I and a lot of laughing on both ends because it was just soooooooo hard to try and order something with my little phrase book. I ended up with a BOMB tuna sandwhich and a random glass of welchs grape juice hahahaha

Usually there are menus with pictures etc to order from but my neighbourhood as i said before is very traditional so i was just looking at some writing on a chalk board.

This is walking towards the han river and nearest subway station Bangbae

Just a shot i took to 

show the hilly roads in my area I basically live on a massive hill.

My school Alphabet Street which is actually one of the nicest buildings inside and out I've ever seen. Also an example of korean driving/parking. Two cars parallel parked in the middle of the street lol

 The street my school is located on.  

My temporary residence is in the house in the middle.

No one in my neighbourhood ever locks their front doors, most of the time doors are just wide open with no one home.

This is a park right outside my house thats always full of people. This is a really small park compared to most. The opportunities to get outside and be active are amazing here. Everyone cares about their health so much. Most parks have outdoor stainless steel gym sets that are aaaaalways being used by the elderly people in the community.

Below is my local grocery store.
