002_excursion on density 01


There are about 10 million people living in Seoul. Sure the city is crowded everywhere you go. This is Myeong-dong, one of the most popular stops for shoppers. The urban landscape flooded with neon signs is similar to the one in Tokyo. (see 001_empire of signs and 002_signtecture at http://urbanomania-jp.blogspot.com) They all share some similarities to the ones found in Tokyo, vertically longish shape with lively colours, and very dense, a lot of signs all over the place. The only difference is of course the Korean text.
