Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood??

We have lived in Sangu for over a month now and I haven't introduced anyone to the locals so here you go and "Welcome to Sangu!"

I don't know if you can see this but the hard hats for the construction workers are wide-brimmed. Korean's are very concerned about sun damage. Hopefully someday they will worry more about the lung damage from their cigarettes.

Just doing his job and doing it well might I add.

The hospital is right behind us and it has an open door policy as near as we can tell. We have seen much worse wandering around carrying around their I.V.'s on a wooden pole as they walk. I'm not sure its such a bad idea to get a breath of fresh air and some exercise when your on the mend, its the contamination factor on both ends that kind of worries me.

This is the local car wash and detail shop right behind our "villa." Villa translated:small apartment complex, don't think we are in a french type villa when you here that word. It just means we are no longer 30 stories high.

No, that's not your average white trash in the hood. But it is the corner of our block. They don't use garbage cans everyone just kind of dumps it on the road side at night. The local wild cats have first dibs on it and then the garbage fairies come at night and its gone in the morning. Magic I tell you. We never see or hear a garbage truck.

Scary American roaming the streets...NOT looking like one of the locals.
