Onward- to Pocheon. "where nature and people meet"

The city has the feel of a quaint little mountain town, into which someone dropped a chunk of ageing distopian megalopolis. Neither urban, nor rural, and about as far from suburban as you can get, Pocheon is something i have never seen before. It is a tiny little city.

My apartment is on the 14th floor, of 22. Not sure how many appartments to a floor, but guess at twenty. There is an identical building right next door. A few buildings down, there is some sort of small scale farm / herb garden.



My first morning, I am awakened by what I can only describe as the sounds of life drifting through my fourtenth storey window. Cars, yes, but also children, parents, animals, and what I assume is some kind of advertisement; a puplic service announcement delivered by megaphone. It's not that people here are loud all the time. It's just that I guess everyone is loud some of the time, and about a thousand people live next door.

But then, of course, there's the view.
