Young Street

I was sorting through photos the other day and came across this one that I was saving for a rainy day. This is a view of the infamous "Young Street" in Seongnamdong, a covered walkway with neon lights flanked by stores and restaurants of every size shape and color. Some stores cater to those with more "Western" tastes (Starbucks, McDonald's, Levi's, K-Swiss, etc.) and others offer some of the craziest deals on the newest trends in Korean street fashion. There also several bars, of course, and a decent (by Ulsan standards) hip-hop club. A series of alleyways lead off from the main drag where shoppers can find vintage jeans and t-shirts and surprisingly good Korean food. This is what gives Seongnamdong it's charm and makes it my favorite part of Ulsan.
