Korea University Station (고려대역) Line 6 – Station #640

Almost any time you step onto the Korea University (고려대학교) campus, one of the sights you’re bound to see is large groups of high school students being led around by their teachers or KU student docents.  They’re there to get a taste of the university life and, maybe more to the point, a bit of…

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…

The most important feature in the Cheonho neighborhood is also the one you’d be most likely to walk past without noticing.  Just outside of Exit 10 is an earthen mound, about ten feet high, un-mowed and partly covered in a plant with tiny white blossoms.  It looks as if it might be a covered landfill…

Hwarangdae Station (화랑대역) Line 6 – Station #646

For the most part, Hwarangdae is a rather bland part of town.  It’s pretty much as middle-class as you can get, the better part of the neighborhood being a shuffle of schools, churches, and businesses, many of them chain stores, that provide for the residents of the several apartment tower complexes both north and south…
