Haebangchon nights.
The ultimate accessory.
Bonny's Sunday Afternoon madness!
Even the ajummas are showing up dressed to the nines in Haebangchon now.
The very picture of the gendered consumption of the Other in the foreigner ghetto in Seoul. The #2 commuter bus is in the background, too.
This former
Highly gendered consumption has created market forces that turnedg my beloved Hungry Dog diner man cave into a juice bar filled exclusively with girly girls. Because Korean girly girls are not really hungry dogs.
Besides the food, another reason this place has become the best restaurant Haebangchon has to offer.
No way! Same girl I caught earlier in the day in haebangchon! Check the next picture!
Spring nights in Gyeongnidan offer Consumption and Romanticism.
Regramming the Kobawoo Supermarket in Haebangchon.
Bumped into my boy Sam Okyere AT SFW, also former next door neighbor here in the HBC. I know the two most famous Sams in Korea!
Met two japanese tourists in HBC today, where the Hungry Dog once was. Now it is a Juice bar filled only with girls. From everywhere. They were armed with selfie sticks, smartphones, and were ready to tour! They asked me where to go. I told them to hit Ho
Samdidas and pants in Haebangchon.
Haebangchon nights.
Gentrification (ladification) in Haebangchon, Seoul.
Haebangchon attracts young Korean women looking for trendy experiences of the Exotic Foreign Other. Ridiculous burgers one can't even eat exemplify this. After the picture, the Leaning Tower of Burger fell on its side, much to the consternation of its con
Hipster-mobile racing through Haebangchon.
Out for a walk in my hood, met other walkers. The Haebangchon is fast becoming naturally Korean cool. Happy day, happy family! Spring is here, in full effect!
Haebangchon has gotten strangely übercool. As Seoul's foreigner ghetto grown up from the

Coffee shop doggie.
Ladies and gentrification, Haebangchon.
Girl Talk. Not a guy in the place, except for the servers. Just another part of the ladification (gendered gentrification) that has swept through the neighborhood.
Gentrification (ladification) is here when you can do Korean sogaeting (arranged dates) in the area.
Friday night in Itaewon.
5pm open for dinner at Linus's BBQ in Itaewon, when 29 young women in their 20sand 30s walked in, along with exactly one man. Itaewon has become a place for the consumption of the exotic other, especially through food and its environs.
Midnight in Itaewon.
Itaewon, the once-notorious haunt of foreigners' and hookers and GI's and gay people --all the social outcastes -- now gentrifying. Well, in this case, a process of ladyfication, to coin a phrase. Koorean girls meeting in groups of 4-6, sampling, consumin

The most fabulous man in Itaewon is gonna have on fur, fo' sho'! Let's hope it's as faux fur as possible!
The newly developed, tony part of Itaewon is now populated with women of a more conservative stripe you wouldn't have seen dare step foot here at night twenty years ago. She was part of a church group of all women from church, from which we poached her fo
The new Itaewon.
Burgertime! Towering burgers in a foreign-looking joint feeds the selfie urge.
Walking by with my camera out in Itaewon, door opened and suddenly it was the Nineties Itaewon again. Girls wanting me to buy them drinks in the bar. I said I didn't have any cash. She parried by saying I should use my card. At $15 a drink, of course. But
The coolest couple in Gyeongnidan today.
THAT Gyeongnidan couple.
More modern hanbok in Gyeongnidan.
That bright and shiny high school girl in Gyeongnidan. Her and mom were hitting the street food together.
