  • I was going north on the subway coming from lotte world i had just spent part of the day there. I decide that i would just get off at one of the stops along the way and see if there is anything intresting.
    So i got off the subway at cheongnyangni ( on subway line 1 ). I looked on the map of what was in the area, not much but there was a market. So why not lets look at the market. I started walking in the market and it was like most of the other markets i had been to there were shoes, clothes and stuff. Then i looked to my right and there was the meat ilse guess you could say. As i started walking down there i saw live chickens and ducks. Then a bit farther down there were live cats and dead cats. this turned my stomach, then there were live octopus and live pig heads. Then what was the worst for me to see was the live dogs. I felt so bad for them it was my frist time ever seeing anything like that and it gave me a pretty big shock. I had to leave. If you are ever in this area and want to see what a market is really like go here.

    After that i crossed the street and to my suprise there was a red light district. It only caters to domectic clinets. It was a small red area were the girls stand in glass booths along the road. It was small but worth a look at if you head into this area.

    The pic is of the pig heads, for some reason two pic's came out on one. I would of put one the pic of the dogs in the cage. But this is the pic of the dogs it overlaping? why ? i donno but i'm pissed off that i can't show you.
