Small plazas are usually found in the middle of every apartment complex. In GwaCheon there are ten complexes, or Danji. Our Danji plaza has a dry cleaner, super market, health food store, tailor, barber, butcher and even an Amway retailer.
6But not all danjis are created equal, not all have bathhouses like danji number 6. It has been determined that the women's side is most busy in the mornings and the men's side in the evenings. The symbol on the top of the chimney is the sign for bathhouses in both Korea and Japan. Before my sister knew how to read Korean, she thought that this symbol stood for dumplings and wondered why there were so many dumpling factories in Korea.
This park is always full on weekends and afternoons.But at this time of the day, kids are done with school and on their way to after school schools.
The girl in the photo had her orthodontic gear match the color scheme of the playground.
Learning English is a national obsession
Crocs haven't broken through the Korean trend cycles, not yet anyway.
