The address Xu Yun gave Zuo Meiyan was actually a slum residential area outside Busan. There were actually many similar slum areas around the glamorous big cities in Goryeo.
The houses in the slums are not even as good as some houses made of mud and wheat straw in China before liberation. They are all made of rotten wooden boards and tattered oil paper.
Therefore, the sanitary environment is naturally very, very bad. There is no shortage of all kinds of mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats, etc.
In the slums here in Busan, some houses made of rotten wooden boards and tattered oil paper are built on hillsides. Due to the small amount of land and the large number of people, the distance between the houses is very narrow.
Many of these dilapidated houses never see sunlight all year round.
The poor people in Korea live in houses like this. There is no gas or even electricity. Winters are cold and summers are very hot. Is this any different from some poor people living in Lao Jin’s house next door? There is obviously no difference!
Not to mention that the poor people in Korea also have TVs in their homes. The explosive Samsung is sold very cheaply in China. Anyway, electronic products can make a lot of money in China, and of course they will be very cheap for our own country.
Moreover, most of the people living in such slums make a living by picking up rags. It is normal to not have enough food and clothing, and life is extremely difficult.
It must be difficult. Busan is a cheap place to eat seafood. If you eat a fish with some kimchi, miso soup and rice, it will cost more than 100 yuan per person.
And don’t eat blood tofu soup, it’s fishy and disgusting, as well as those stinky fish and shrimps pickled like kimchi...
Zuo Meiyan and Ruan Qingshuang searched for it according to the address, but there was an unpleasant fishy smell along the way.
They seemed to be passing by a market. Korean people, no matter whether they work overtime or not, don't seem to like to go home immediately after get off work. They simply go to the seafood market to eat with friends. They don't pay attention to the dining environment at all!
Some people who are obsessed with saving face will say that this is what they want. It is a pleasure to see how the lively seafood is processed on their own table.
But people in Korea who are truly rich and know how to enjoy themselves will definitely choose to go to a place like Luoyan Restaurant. That kind of place is called enjoyment.
Why don’t you come here to eat because you don’t have money?
In addition to eating these, there are also people who eat barbecue, but not many people are willing to eat meat. Sometimes two people only eat one plate. If they are not full, they eat rice or cold noodles. Anyway, meat is too expensive, so it is impossible to eat it.
Chinese people like to eat until they are full.
"It seems that there are more poor people." Ruan Qingshuang couldn't help but sigh when she saw people eating in such a dirty environment.
"Actually, it's the same everywhere. It's normal. China also has more poor people who have no money." Zuo Meiyan said: "It's the same in any country. After all, for the whole world, there are probably more poor people."
Ruan Qingshuang nodded, but Goryeo is not a large country. It is difficult to feed a large country with a population of hundreds of millions. It is indeed a bit miserable for Goryeo to be like this with only such a small number of people.
"Now is not the time to pity them, we seem to be arriving soon." Zuo Meiyan pointed to a colorful place on the hillside in front of her.
Although it is night, the moonlight can still make people see some mottled colors.
This is one of the slums in Busan, Korea, but in recent years it has been packaged into a so-called cultural village by the Koreans, and they also call themselves the Santorini of Korea...
I have to say that the Korean people are really narcissistic!
This is a village located in Gamcheon-dong, Busan. From a distance, there are rows of small colorful houses arranged along the contour lines, paved along the hillside and extending to the seaside. How can it be called Santorini?
Santorini is an island ring composed of a group of volcanoes in the Aegean Sea. Santorini has an irresistible charm. Even at night, it is still brightly lit, bustling with people, and very lively.
Santorini has unique volcanic geology, which has created Kamari’s unique black sand beach. Santorini also has the ruins of Akrotiri.
Santorini is considered the most beautiful place in the world to watch the sunset, and thousands of tourists from all over the world gather here every day to enjoy the sunset.
At the moment when the sun sets, time seems to stand still. The sun slowly disappears on the horizon, but the town suddenly becomes quiet and peaceful, quietly sending away the last rays of the sunset. The beautiful scenery of the world is intoxicating.
And Korea seems to be a complete copycat version!
Because this was a slum area a few years ago, it became a village in Korea where religious believers gathered in the 1960s.
Due to the urban reconstruction of Busan City, believers of this religion and refugees from the Korean War were moved to the mountains of Gamcheon-dong, which is where the current "Korea Santorini" is located. There are only a few thousand people, and the slopes along the foothills are flat and poor.
The villagers live in temporary wooden houses, which is a slum village.
Due to their different beliefs, the villagers of this slum village have been alienated from the ordinary people of Busan. Moreover, the infrastructure in the village is poor, and the villagers have no livelihood skills, so it is almost the most shabby slum area in Busan.
But just a few years ago, some slick officials in Busan, Korea, cooperated with some third-rate artists to formulate relevant plans to turn this place into an art village called "Korea Santorini"!
Of course, this is also after vigorous environmental improvement, and some third-rate artists were hired to create some wonderful paintings. The former slums were transformed into the colorful so-called art and cultural villages today!
Not to mention, it really deceived a lot of tourists. It is estimated that many people in China have also been deceived. The Chinese people are too simple. I guess they will come here once they hear "Santorini of Korea".
Many residents in this area have also opened small shops and cafes. It is said that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea has transformed the vacant houses in the village into studios or galleries for some third-rate artists, and some have been turned into restaurants and B&Bs.
Some open spaces and rooftops in the village have also been turned into gardens. After renovation, it is indeed very different from the former slums.
But compared with other people's Santorini, it's still several levels behind. It's not on the same level at all! It's because Bangzi is so thick-skinned that he gives himself the label of "Korea Santorini"
Bar.
Zuo Meiyan and Ruan Qingshuang walked all the way uphill. The slopes above 40 degrees were lined with ordinary residences of residents. The main road into the village was pretty good everywhere. Various murals and sculptures were hidden in casual corners.
It can be said that there are surprises everywhere.
There is also a small museum. Although it is only a few tens of square meters in size, it condenses the change process of this slum area. It also collects various old objects from the past, such as broken wall clocks, antique typewriters, and short wooden boards from the past.
A replica of the house even has advertisements from the time posted on it.
After passing through the winding paths between the houses, the two of them went up to the rooftop. They had an unobstructed view in the distance. The colorful houses were like small squares, arranged along the mountain like Lego blocks.
Because it was night, I couldn't see how beautiful it was. I guess during the day, the colors would be more vivid, so maybe it would look better.
"The house numbers here are too confusing. The address Xu Yun gave is nearby." Zuo Meiyan said, "Let's look for it slowly."
Because there are tourists here at night, there are still basic street lights, which will not affect the two people's way finding.
After walking for a while, Zuo Meiyan felt tired. When she saw a cafe, she asked Ruan Qingshuang to have a cup of coffee to refresh herself. However, when she walked to the door of the cafe, Ruan Qingshuang pointed to the house number, and it turned out to be Xu Yun.
address!
"If I had known it was here, I would have come here for a drink right away." Zuo Meiyan rolled her eyes helplessly.
"There seem to be some customers drinking coffee inside." Ruan Qingshuang said.
Zuo Meiyan shook her head: "It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry anyway, let's go in to drink first, and then we can talk about our own business after the other guests have left."
Ruan Qingshuang nodded in agreement. No matter what, it would be bad to affect other tourists who come here. No matter where these guests come from, they all spend money for entertainment. It would be a sin for them to disturb them.
