[2007-2009] Daejon, S. Korea

It's been some time since I've been in Asia now. Approximately 1.5 years and I'm finding myself missing it. When so much time goes by, I seem to forget all the negative stuff and just hold on to the good aspects of it. It's kind of like an ex boyfriend. I even miss the hustle and bustle, whereas while I lived there I couldn't stand it.
Here are some pictures of the 'dong' (neighbourhood) I lived in in Daejon. The Ojungdong, AKA dwaejidong, was packed with suljibs (bars, or can be directly translated as alcohol-houses), bunshikjums (hole-in the wall restaurants) and coffee shops! A university student's haven. Which makes sense since we were adjacent to a university.
I really miss going for a quick snack after classes with my colleagues, or ducking into a coffee shop to mark during a free period. It made working and living in a university neighbourhood well worth it. Even if I did have to watch out for throw up in the streets along my walk to school.
Below are a few photos of the storefronts in the area.
