godleeone the symbol you seen on the window is some kind of buddhist symbol. The nazi symbol turns clock-wise while thhe buddhist symbol turns counter clock-wise

[godleeone]

@thecuphas I know. Though, it's incredibly fascinating how a symbol considered to represent the epitome of hatred, and bigotry in one country can be a symbol of peace in another by simply altering its angular position. I hate to use the word brainwash, but it would seem that's what's going on when Americans are taught of the swastika; it's pretty sad.

Most slums in Seoul are demolished and developed into eye-soring high-rise apartments.

Korea should preserve a minority of their slum neighborhoods to remind the future generations of the harsh obstacles Korea faced in the last 60 years.

@toe39 I know I called it a slum, but Sangju was a beautiful town regardless of Sangju's rundown parts. I highly recommend everyone passing through Sangju to visit the town for a bit.

did you walk around with your camera like an idiot? what's the point of this video?

[godleeone]

@BabyEater9000 The point of the video is in the description (i.e., it's a "Tour Through a Korean Slum"). Do you actually think before you post a comment, or do you just troll youtube posting random comments like an idiot?

[godleeone]

@khunopie Actually, I stayed in a rural town named Sangju, and they had a Baskin Robbins, as well as many other fast food restaurants just like in good old fat ass America. However, most everyone was skinny, sweet, and welcoming.

[godleeone]

@dldbsk89 Agreed. Every Korean I met was very courteous. Aside from the taxi drivers in Sol that would take you on an unwanted joy ride so they could charge you more money, every other Korean I met was incredibly sweet. I would love to go back one day!

Khunopie what an ignorant comment you put up here. Grow up for god sake I am korean and I don't eat Doug soup for lunch, in fact, I never eaten and never will, if you have time to talk shit about other peoples culture, with that time invest in gaining some knowledge for yourself!

[khunopie]

Did you eat dog in Korea? Most korean people enjoy dog soup at lunch
