I've been meaning to write this post for a while, then at least two people asked me this week-end if I was ever going to resurrect this blog, so here it is. I have written numerous times in the past about elements of the subway, here is a partial list:
Yangcheon gu cheong station: http://seoulpatch.blogspot.kr/2015/04/or-my-local-subway-station.html
Yeouinaru station: http://seoulpatch.blogspot.kr/2010/10/yeouinaru.html
That time they changed the left-right on the escalators: http://seoulpatch.blogspot.kr/2009/10/she-told-me-to-walk-this-way.html
And two posts about when they opened Line 9: http://seoulpatch.blogspot.kr/2009/05/subway-saturday.html and http://seoulpatch.blogspot.kr/2009/07/tuttle-rides-nine.html

Here are a few advertisements you might see today, the last one for the "Goblin Night Market" a glorified flea market or car boot sale, as the Brits might say:
You see a few of these around (including at Yangcheon gu cheong station, as pictured in that post):
And finally, Seoul Best Toilet, awarded in 2001 to the World Cup Stadium station. Well done!
