I didn't noticed before that common people's life was so close with the walls.
It was strange why I couldn't see the rich near the walls.
Every people and every village I met and saw were poor. I didn't understand the reason why. But because of that the walls were occupied by the poor.
So while walking along the walls I could felt common people's culture more closely.
Along the wall, people were living.
oldwomen with oldwomen
oldmen with oldmen
There were lots of old houses just next to the walls , but sometimes I could read the hope from small and green trees in front of old houses.
There were small gates through where people could pass in and out.
Over the walls there were houses had been built densely
Passing the hill, scenary was changed. I could see more wealthier form of living.
Combination and contrast between past and present gave me subtle excitement.
Anyway scenary was really nice and beautiful to take an look.
You cannot tell that you ever have visited Seoul without taking a look at this scenary.
I went out from inside to outside. There were real walls.
It was another experience to looking at the views from out side.
Next time I like to post relating to the walls and views from out side.
Thank you for reading
Thank you for posting @slowwalker, nim.
Lovely writing and photographs of your observation.
Inequality is always a result of freedom. Freedom to suceed...freedom to fail.
Yet....everyone can have happiness no matter the strata they find themselves in.
Thank you for opportunity to think on these things.
Wishing you and yours all the best....regards to your mum especially. Cheers.
nice pictures
So it's like a partition then. There's a wall that represents the lower class. Where will they be in the next 10-20 years from now. Good read and great photos too. Cheers.
Thank you
Great pictures! I think you were lucky to live there. What kind of camera did you use? Or are these pictures on the camera phone?
Here is a latest post of mine.. Upvote if you like it :)

walls always mark a divide, and so every wall is a metaphor for boundaries.
The fact that the rulers of Seoul City would go to such time and expense to build a wall says something in itself - either that the military was too weak to adequately defend the citizens, or lawlessness and many evil things took place outside the city walls.
You focussed on the inside of the walls, @slowwalker, and you showed the cramped houses of the poor pushed up against the fortifications.
That location would have been undesirable because of the constant patrols, and the coming and going of people entering and leaving the city. It would have been congested and noisy.
The only escape would be living higher up the mountain away from the density and noise and as your pictures show, many built homes right into the hillside to enjoy the peace and the lovely views.
In the present time, the wall defines Seoul - it's part of its character and its soul. There is no physical divide between rich and poor but there is a huge economic gap that affects their lifestyles.
Seoul is a city where the present, past and future intersect and traditional walls still exist, but are slowly giving way to a new world order.
Very graphic photos of contrasting ways of life, @slowwalker.
Thank you for your interpretation as always
you're very welcome, @slowwalker
its really beautiful and so shrine city to live, I always want to be living in such shrine place because being together with everyone gives tremendous feel and real enjoyment of life.. Thanks for sharing

Great pictures! Pally was in Seoul just last month and took the exact same walk with a group of locals who showed us around.. we found a super charming jazz cafe with a view of the city run by a local jazz enthusiast who had crafted the whole store himself. Thanks again for sharing, enjoyed reading through this!
Interesting! looking forward to the post of views from outside
You can actually feel the contrast of poor and the wealthy people! It makes you think deeper infact!
The place is quite densely populated I notice @slowwalker! Wow!
Thanks for your lovely post about your country!
Cheers

Absolutely
GOOD people in korea @slowwalker i like there ppl
Thank you
you are welcome my friend @slowwalker if u go to indonesia u can chat me :D
It is kind of scary to see how the wealthy and the poor live side by side and you can see easily the vivid contrast between each environment.
Hopefully we can be more equal one day rather than being a huge disparity between the top and the bottom.
Great Photographs @slowwalker
Very cool shots !! Looks like an interesting town. The mountains are beautiful! :)
Right it is beautiful
This country seems so peaceful. Koreans are always cute and professional. I have a great experience with them on steemit so far.
It is good for you to have a good experience
Nice post
Great perspective. It just shows there's not much of a middle class in many cities anymore.. just rich and poor
good work i really like ur post, ur post is very eye catching, keep it up!!
I love the contrast of the urban cityscape alongside the mountains.
Feels refreshing to live there. Got to visit korea someday soon. :)
I find the commonalities between different cultures and civilizations amusing. The architecture of buildings and walls is one of those commonalities :]
Thanks for your interesting post! Waiting the next one)

Many circumstances in life of poors but many poors are below the poverty , So the rich person should to create a idea for the poors to help them.
Like-: Build a colony and provide home , by this way they can earn money easily and the unemployment will decrease and many poor will happy...........

In India, where I live there are somehow similar architecture of our house like you the ones you have posted saying weatheir from of living. By looking at all your posts from Seoul tour, it's like I have already travelled there. Your blog is always insightful and simple. That's what I admire.
