Enoch's family was awesome enough to invite me, my dad, and Jaepil over for Thanksgiving yesterday.

Today, Jaepil took a few of us church people to this place called 구룡 마을. It's basically this area full of shacks that are prohibited by the government, but people still live there cause they cannot afford to pay for housing in Seoul.

The irony is that three bus stops away, there are some of the most expensive apartments in Korea. Many of those residents probably have no idea that 구룡 마을 even exists. You can see the tall buildings in the background. What an encouraging view for these people, right?

I knew that Korea had some ghetto areas, but I never knew it'd have places this impoverished. As I told one of our fellow kyopos from California, "Ain't no Cerritos!"

Fantastic weekend.

Thought of the Day: Busan.
Song of the Day: Utada Hikaru-Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 MIX-
