4000 Apartments Open Soon For 4000 Families…

The first time I saw Pangyo was on a bus ride into Seoul. I looked out the window and noticed row after row of ghostly apartment buildings, the sign in front of them read, “Humanasia”. Spooky! It sounds like a place where artificial human beings would live. It turns out it’s called Pangyo, and it’s a new Satellite city that will be opening up in December. There are 4000 apartments! All will be open in December! 4000 families! That’s at least 8000 - 12000 people!

On Saturday, Mike (one of our new teachers) and I went on a bike ride around Pangyo with our cameras. I was worried we’d get hassled by security, but I don’t think it exists there, just tons and tons of construction workers.

Here are the pictures:

I will definitely be going back at night to capture more of the creepiness of this place. It will be interesting to see what happens when it opens. I’m sure there will be plenty of new bus lines, and subway stops.

The rest of the pictures are of the beautiful stream/river that runs throughout Bundang called, the Tancheon… This is how we’re going to get to work now that we have bikes. Not a bad way to start the morning…
