waterloo November 7th, 2004, 06:23 PM I wish we would of preserve some sections of area and not developed that part into the modern houses... :sleepy: Haha glad my grandmother's house is like the houses you see here :) Almost 85 years old Korean traditional structure house :)
Ellatur November 7th, 2004, 09:11 PM its sad how little of what you can see in the first picture is left..
Puffdaddy November 13th, 2004, 05:35 PM Well, awesome pictures with tons of crowded houses they are living in.. I wonder what did they do for spare time?? I bit there wasn`t any space to play soccer at that time...
k2 November 17th, 2004, 11:22 PM It's really looks like Beijing at that time, those pictures show the cultural traditions of Korea really

Sister Ray March 2nd, 2007, 02:21 PM Very interesting. Seoul looks so much nicer in the early twentieth century than in the 1960's.

^^^ you can try Bukchon in Northern Seoul where most of the Hanok or Korean Traditional Houses were moved and currently located. You can also try the Namsangol Hanok Village on the slopes of Namsan Mountain

I agree. The war's the bitch.
diz February 17th, 2011, 06:33 AM All Asian cities looked nicer pre-war. Even Manila (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3654/3511914223_da681ca420_b.jpg). War's an epic bitch. Damn imperialists.

Audiomuse February 18th, 2011, 06:38 AM The first photo is epic.
Look how majestic the city looks! You can see huge gates, and maybe temples in the background.

kindda OT, but yes, Manila was the most beautiful city in Asia back then, and our country was second only to Imperial Japan in terms of wealth
sapphire blue February 19th, 2011, 06:02 PM is the railway tracks in second pic still exist ?

Wrong. That photo is from the 1920s. The standing that RP's econ. was second to Japan's didn't come until the 1950s.
TheKorean February 22nd, 2011, 04:16 AM is the railway tracks in second pic still exist ?
I think thats the streetcar route, so probably not.
hotday July 4th, 2011, 03:03 PM yeah,the ancient castle should be preserved....i really hope human could preserve them...
