This park was always teeming with activity.

Men would play games (Go and another asian game...kind of like chess and checkers together?) after work everyday before heading home for the evening. The park was full of concrete blocks with the games grid impressed into their surfaces.





These paths are found all around the city. You take your shoes off, or not as the case may be, and walk on it barefoot. It's thought to be good for the feet. It looks quite harmless, but man is it intense on the sole! It did the trick though.



And men would draw and sell their calligraphy. Lan, my old boss in Weyco Recycling, told me that these were blessings written in Chinese (many of the older Korean generation still use Mandarin, and... it's still used in the Korean legal system).
