City of churches
A short walk around an area of Daegu full of churches
After my long day described in excruciating detail above, I barely had time for a quick shower to rinse off the dead bugs glued to me by sunscreen before it was time to go find some dinner.
Weather update, on the bus back earlier the sun came out, but now it is very grey again, but no rain. However later in the evening, it looked like the grey was going, as there was a bright orange sunset, which I did not photograph.
Predictably, I ended up eating in the Hyundai department store, as it is close by and I was starving, but I then extended my evening a little, and I now have 45,000 steps today. I have nothing funny to say so lets see if any of the pics are amusing in any way.
I see a lot of 'bikes' like this in Korea. This one is spiderman themed, earlier today I saw someone riding a dragon. I presume they are battery powered and illegal to use on the road but used on the road anyway.
There are lots of churches, there are stadium churches, small traditional churches, and brand new churches like this one still built in the traditional style. I have no idea how Daegu supports so many churches, perhaps its why the city is poor.
View from the church has.. another church. Does the small old church feel inferior looking at the enormous new church? Do the parishioners fight each other in the streets? I like to think they do. Also that is probably the first time in my life I typed the word parishioner.
Safe street. A street full of nothing but safe shops.
My dinner was disappointing. It looks nothing like the picture on the menu. I was promised Sichuan style noodles, which in the photo had minced beef, not 2 strips of thinly cut beef. Also the photo was bright red, and if it is Sichuan style it should have numbing and spicy, there was no numbing, how can you have la without the ma.
Next I descended underground, to a space themed art installation with hand grenades.
Then I found that beyond the underground mall I already found, is another underground mall joined onto it. Lower rent, full of shops selling questionable manga.
I came up from the secret underground mall to this, another nice street full of lots of street art.
Not the best stance, but it is me, with a teddy bear. No other comment necessary.
