Line 7

Ttukseom Resort Station (뚝섬유원지역) Line 7 – Station #728

For the longest time I was under the impression that there was an actual resort at Ttukseom Resort Station, a victim, it turns out, of a rather loose-fitting translation.  A more direct rendering of 유원지 (yuwonji) would be something like ‘pleasure grounds,’ though that of course doesn’t strike the ear as quite right either.  An…

Gunja Station (군자역) Line 5 – Station #544, Line 7 – Station #725

Coming out of Exit 8, Gunja presented a modest commercial intersection – a couple banks and a Starbucks on the corners, a trio of street stalls selling snacks and sending greasy vapors into the air.  Just past those stalls I turned left onto a road bearing the same name as the station, Gunja-ro (군자로).  Cutting…

Taereung Station (태릉입구역) Line 6 – Station #645, Line 7 – Station #717

Onsu Station (온수역) Line 1 – Station #145, Line 7 – Station #750

When the first thing my eyes landed on after stepping out of Exit 1 was a sign for boshintang, I knew that was as good a tip as any that I was, by Seoul standards at least, out in the sticks.  Dog meat restaurants and the signs advertising them are a vanishing breed in the…
