Walkday 10, 2009.12.19

Very Short Night walk between Artplatform to Baedari area after Affordable internet Housing Workshop on 19th Dec.

Walked into a Chinese restaurant called Jinheongak away from Chinatown to have Jajangmyun-Korean Black bean Paste Noodle. Three of us all had Samsun Jajangmyun-seafood based black been noodle without any hesitation. This time I had fried rice with Jajangmyun Sauce on it.  As i might have explained below- it is derived from Chinese food in Shandong region in China. Jangmyeon was first created in Incheon where early Chinese migrants to Korea started to settle in the late 19th Century.

Dense of crowd in this old part of Incheon is almost Nothing compare to Seoul. Look just us walking in the street!! its not that late eve though-was about around 7-8pm.

Walked up to the hill shortly to the other side of Jayu Park.  Saw abandoned-looking Japanese houses again to the left side of the hill. Talked about the story from a book written in 2006 by a local historian  a Japanese family, whose father worked in the city’s hospital back in the colonial era...This time we had to miss all the Jayu Park sessions include MacArthurs' statue, 'Rocky run" at the steps of Each Nation's Settlement..
