saturday.bibimbap, pork, beans in seomyeon.

took a train to sajik for the 8:00pm zombie run. lined up outside asiad, one of the 2002 fifa world cup stadiums, with a few zombies and the living. the zombie boss blew his whistle and it was 30 minutes of running around a dark soccer stadium with zombies chasing.

turns out that by eight pm zombie run session, the zombies were tired and didn’t do a lot of grabbing. there was a lot grumbling and posing.

back in seomyeon, i had my daily dose of sea creatures.
into the fix for the zombie run after party. four am we split a quarter pounder and cheese, and watched drunk zombies stumbling and grumbling as their makeup peeled and crusted on their faces.

banyeo. saw the local tomcat chasing a marauding intruder. they tumbled out from under a parked car letting out war cries. the catfight rolled onto the busy street. the cabdrivers slowed down and gave the warriors a brake-a courtesy not often extended to civilians and pedestrians.

crossed the suyong into yeonsan. followed gobun-ro along baeksan mountain. went over the tunnel that cuts into one of baeksan’s protuding ridges. at the top, i visited the ancient tombs of yeonsandong (옌산동고분군) from the gaya period (first to 6th century AD).

found a not-so-ancient artifact in the sexy and shady district surrounding yeonsan intersection. possible relic of a demolished love motel.

followed the worldcup-daero road, renamed for the 2002 fifa world cup that took place near by.
past geojeyeok entered an old neighborhood.
signs of mudang and shamans.

a door to an abandoned house.

a neighborhood that will be swept away by the new korea of high rises and lotte castles.

a pastoral scene.
