Doosung In The Paper Gallery and the events

 : Doosung City Construction Report exhibition was going on along the 'Culture Station Seoul 284' exhibition. And Doosung held 2 more galleries in Seoul. I wanted to go and visit all the places but I couldn't. And unluckily, I wasn't able to...see even though I went there...

 As you see in the below picture, Dosung held three galleries altogether. I came to know of Dosung Company and the papers itself through this visit. You can see and visit these until December 26 this year.

Event guide

 I didn't go there in an easy way. Early in the morning, I was little bit tired and also had sore legs. But it was close on Sunday... Damn.

 There are more than 10 million people in Seoul. So crowded. Many people almost everywhere in Seoul. I don't see no more romantic life style or wanna be style here. I don't see why people come to Seoul and live like this. More opportunity? no it's less opportunity. Maybe it's a high density market for business men, but to ordinary people... it's just a living place demanding much price....

Travel at Seoul? A night at Jjimjilbang(Sauna house) - Kookil Jjimjilbang

 : Very special place in Korea, Jjimjilbang had been a place for bathing and resting for health... Since a day, it has been a very cheap and good place for sleep.

 To foreigners, this would be strange. How can many people sleep on a floor together... Of course the public bath is also a strange thing. 

 Please remember that it's not good for a sound sleep. Just I recommend to visit once to see this unique culture, even though I've never met a foreigner here before....

 There are times when I lost time to take a bus or subway train and nowhere to go. Taxi is to expensive. What I have to do is just to wait for the next train or bus tomorrow.... And I need just a place to study....

 Why did I choose to sleep here? I can take a public transportation such as a bus or a subway train if I can wait until 5 or 6 am. Therefore I usually spend time at PC bang(Internet Cafe). But it was 1,800 won an hour, which is very expensive price comparing with 1,200 won in Busan. And also I wanted to take a shower and lie down for resting. If I spend 5 hours at PC bang I had to pay at least 7,500 won(5 hours previous pay). But Jjimjilbang costs 10,000 won. If I were 5 or 10 years younger, I would stay at PC bang..but... I was so tired and nothing to do there....

 Jjimjilbang is a very good alternative lodging place to Motel or Hotel for which I have to pay about 50,000 won to 100,000 won. Of course there is another alternative, the guesthouse, which is comparatively cheap. But Around the Jongro and downtown, it's far from by walk. But the 6 or 8 people dormitory style guesthouse is about 20,000 to 30,000 won per person.

 You would notice that the cities in Korea are all alike if you travel in Korea. Please see the following picture. Can you tell where it is? Even I say it's in front of Busan National University, people would believe it.

 How does Korea become like this? Very similar buildings every downtown... the neon sign styles... If you want to experience a city life, you can choose any city in Korea. They are all alike... I couldn't feel any uniqueness for each city in Korea.... That's so unfortunate. The format, style... are very similar... Damn.. I hate this unification...  

An typical downtown street...

Chungkyechun Light Festival, Seoul Lantern Festival, 2015

 : It was held from November 6th to November 22, 2015. It has been since 2009. With lantern exhibition, there are participation programs for Citizens including 2015 Korea Public Advertisement Festival and Lantern marketplace. 

 Yes, of course it's funded by Tax... I think it's a wasting money. The tax goes to several companies... This can be used for another place like lone old people or orphans...

 Anyway, Seoul citizen would welcome this... It's a good place and chance for them to have a date and spend time with family members... Yes, it's for someone who can afford....

 Yes, there are so many sufferers...

Location

 As you see on the picture, there are couples and families... The structures are looking good... and warm. Can I eat that or be full with that... And economic reason......

 It's just something to see.

 And now I came to think again of the reality of Korea... with setting priority in a wrong way... prioritizing money, appearance, showing off over life, happiness and justice...

 I really hate this Korea...

Typhojanchi 2015, 4th International Typography Biennale at the Old Seoul Station, Part 7

 :  Nowadays, Korean culture and historical places are related with commercial purpose... Korea now is a center of capitalism.... I can say that Korea is by the money, for the money and of the money...

 Yes, a small gift follows promotional events.

Newspaper? It's another artwork...

 I came to re-assure that I am not an art guy. I don't have any special feeling or something from any art work. Or I haven't met an art work before. 

 At least, it's worth visiting. And this is very good place for someone who get a free time before departure from Seoul Station...while waiting for a train.
