So I stayed in Yeongcheon most of the time....

      In the picture below, you can read about this little building, which shows typical architecture for palaces, shrines, temples, etc, all over Korea.  I passed by it nearly everyday.  There's a river on the other side of it where I enjoyed many walks.


      While I lived in Yeongcheon, a lot of renovation was done along both sides of the river.  



     I called this intersection "Six Points."  By the way, the traffic lights allowed only one direction of traffic one lane at a time.



     Art School

     Sometimes, English was employed on signs, menus, and buildings. 

















      I went to a restaurant on my own, but I did not know that in restaurants like this one the price was set for two people or more.  I knew no Korean.  They knew no English.  I'm sure they tried to explain the restaurant to me.  Still, they let me have my way.  My total bill was 27,000 wons.  I soon learned about the way many restaurants do business here.
















      For three years, that was my main walk way to/from work.
 ... the bakery where I usually bought my bread.  There are "Paris Baguette" shops all over Korea. 
 Open market
Red chili peppers













   Beef on bones, potatoes, carrots, onions, potato noodles, and spicy brown sauce -- delicious!

      I loved their macaroni salad and fried chicken.  I was sad after they closed the restaurant and a "7-11" was installed there.
