Water seems not to be avaliable everywhere when you leave the capital. A woman is washing her clothes in the river.  Life in a village.  When building in a city they tend to block the old houses with tall bulidings, if that is not possible they put a concrete fence so you would only see the roof. As soon as you try to take a picture different from the magazine "Korea" the guide will say: "Why are you taking a picture, it's forbidden here".  Koreans are not shy when it comes to basic needs, the guide forbid to take pictures of men taking a piss on the middle of the road, but there was no problem when it happened in the capital next to to a monument (look at the guy on the steps).  The big monument (they cut off the electricity at 11). Looks like the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings movie :)  The city at night is scary, there is no light on the streets and people use white lights and no curtains.  During the day the elevator didn't work for 15 mins.  |
