Koreans have a bicameral mind about developing their sports programs: academics seem to be the only goal of education, but then you encounter these "under-18" soccer programs. The entire floor below me when I lived at Sinjeong station was occupied by the Yangcheon-gu Under-18s who lived there with their coaches and also had their own bus.
Not sure if this their ultimate goal, or just a dig at a certain Cheeto-in-chief:

Found in Asian public toilets, top in Seoul, the bottom in Beijing:


That says "dung bread", a poo-shaped chocolate confectionery in Insa-dong:

Yep, it says Khaosan Road (after the one in Bangkok), which I once described as bushy-tailed backpacker Nirvana, world-weary expat hell, but is just a pocha/hof in Sadang area.

One of my favorite things, an automated book-lending kiosk in Beijing!

Two final shots: lastly, some awesome Korean BBQ in my old neighborhood at Hyochang Park with my old Yong-in and everywhere buddy Max and his friend Andrew. And a great burger with shredded pork and a choco shake from a restaurant at Terminal 2 called Shake Shack:
