The mission briefing was simple. Our plan was to check out the weirdest places possible. After a few drinks at an old-fashioned Korean bar, we prowled through the near-empty alleyways, unaware of what obscurities laid ahead. As we continued our trek through these grimy backstreets, I began to realize how <em>seedy</em> Seoul was at night. Perhaps prostitution is prevalent and just as inconspicuous during the day in any other metropolis. </p>http://pdhl.tumblr.com/post/19625802480http://pdhl.tumblr.com/post/19625802480Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:50:17 +0900back alleysblack and whiteOlympus XA2seoulkoreareality<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m14wrewxkA1r3gj01o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Chris, soft-spoken, yet effervescent at times of sporting events, is the epitome of the modern day gentleman.
