I met @mineopoly in one of the most ghetto places in Seoul (연신내). It's a town at the very edge of the city. You can compare this to my last post. The streets are nasty and there's drunk people everywhere. @mineopoly told me people fight on the streets all the time, in broad daylight.

I still liked the place because it reminded me of old school Seoul and the food was affordable. We had seasoned beef + beer. They weren't premium but not too cheap either. 'Decent' I would say.

I don't really know why they call this 'Yolo Street'. Maybe it's because there's a lot of bars where you can get drunk and pick fights. More like 'There is No Tomorrow'.

The town is right below the biggest mountain in Seoul. It's the same mountain that North Korean spies came through and almost assassinated the president in the 60s. After finishing our beer, we had a little hike. This particular place was owned by a church. It was nice with swimming pools and shit. It wasn't managed though. If it were I might've jumped in because it was hot as hell, a record breaking heat in decades.

@kaliju you should join us soon. Three of us would have so much fun here.

That's it for now. Drink beer and have a nice weekend everybody.

Sort:  

I am late coming to your post.

your story is very interesting when meeting with your friends. you eat and drink with him.
The picture of the corner of town is beautiful. the most beautiful is the top of the mountain behind you.

Have fun on weekend @roundbeargames

i'm glad you find it interesting :) and yes mountains are beautiful. enjoy your weekend man.

That looks rich AF! That's one ghetto I'd love to live in!

trust me you don't wanna live there! some of the people were scary, as in they looked crazy and unpredictable. i kinda wanted to include them in the photos but i was fearful i might get stabbed or something.
houses there seemed relatively cheap but people still prefer places like 여의도 or 강남.

Now I really wanna visit :) I ain't scared with you guys by my side, we crazier than all of them combined! lol I'll sign them thugs up on steemit and tell them to stop wasting their time stabbing people - start blogging and earning instead XD

haha they probably won't understand keyboard and mouse, or touch screens! 😁

Everone understands touchscreens in Korea! This here is the birthplace of touchscreens !

not the people in 연신내! 😃

Ohhh great!! 2 steemians gathered :) I am happy for you, I hope you can enjoy the 3 some day. Well, in my opinion everything looks very nice, I think they had a lot of fun.

haha yes hopefully we'll have 3 soon!

Budgeting when can I have a Seoul visit!

we shall have 4 😎

the 4 together would be like the movie hangover

A great day considering the heat. That is one of the best YOLO street pictures I have seen yet. It looks like you added 대 to the 박... but those labels were already there. I'm not going to be on Steemit much this weekend but curiosity brought me here again. I have nothing on my blog so I will reblog this.

well we had a 대박 day. it was fun. 😎
your knowledge on yolo street was insane.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

inadvertently you've come up with a poem 😎

Hey, I wasn't even aware of that subway line - I see one can hop onto it from Sangbong - that makes it pretty Ghetto in my book! That mountain is the one that cyclists like to ascend - Bukhan Mnt?

yes sounds like you know seoul! bukhan mnt is so big there's all sorts of trails so i'm sure there's one for cyclists too! 😎

The YOLO Street earned my respect :P

lol mine too 😄 in a weird way!
i definitely wouldn't want to live there tho

Damn, I'll have to remember to give @mineopoly some more street cred.

Please send me a message if you are ever in Seoul. I can help you get into trouble.

For sure, we can go hang out by the Han. :D

more seoul steemians!
