In fact, I didn’t know about this town at all before I visited here so I thought why would anyone go here. I visited a few film sites that look like old towns. However…I like photography…and now, I don’t regret dropping by the town. (Well, you must know how I am by now.)


Let’s explore the past this time. :D

There’s

a banner at the entrance to Whale Culture Village. Wow, it’s soooo

big. It shows the history of Ulsan and it is designated as a special

district for whaling since it has strong connections with whales way

before the whaling was permitted. I didn’t expect much even then.

Entering the entrance, you’ll see the sign. It would probably be the west entrance plaza where I got off. I’ll walk you through Jangsaengpo Old Town starting now.

This mural would look out of style in other villages but not in this town that creates a mysterious atmosphere along with the village name. It looks sloppy but it’s not…this type of decoration looks definitely the best when it’s natural. :D

In every street corner leading to the Old Town, you can see these sculptures. And it’s strong enough to stand with kids on it. I liked it that it was not just for display for tourists but also for usage by residents in neighboring apartments. I couldn’t take photos but there was a playground nearby. I guess it makes it a nice promenade for families.

Okay, let’s keep walking. I’ve been slow ‘cause there are so many things to see and take photos of.

I saw an information center at the entrance to Jangsaengpo Old Town. I somehow felt thankful for those who work hard. I think they are the ones who made us enjoy traveling to this town.

The first thing I noticed in the old town was the poster on the wall. Well, my generation who used to pick up flyers on the street must be familiar with this poster but young people today might think it’s very old-fashioned and probably has no idea what that is. :D

Old bicycle at a hardware store…and it’s rusty…what detailed props.. -_-=b

Oh…that TV!!! And that fan!!! I also use a fan that old, actually as old as me at home. It’s quite useful…I never understood why would anybody use it when I was a kid..but now that I feel sorry for its aging, I must’ve been old as well. :D

I was told it represents bandage and blue and red blood vessels. Some say it was from the war period. Current beauty parlors look quite modern but you could’ve seen this barbershop in the alley of a town merely 10 years ago.

Can you see? Next to coin slot says 20 won. Wow…it brings up memories!

…it says Hwarang… guess my father would’ve loved it…

………..Huh? By the way, there’s Milkis bottle on the right? Wow it’s THAT old? I can’t think of anything else than Chow Yun Fat era…

Obviously there hasn’t been many tourists here...but time is like this, right? There’s nothing special about memories. Everything becomes a past and then a memory. I wonder if I could be a memory for our next generation.

Wow…a portable camera…it looks so cool to see the photographer puts it inside the jacket to take photos. Not many people think it’s special but if you once are attracted to this bellows camera…you won’t be able to get away from it. That’s why I haven’t bought big cameras…T.T

This instrument must’ve been used for sailing long time ago. I have no idea what is it for…but by the look of it…makes us guess how much itㅡas small as that isㅡwas useful on the ocean.

Most of you have hardly seen this. It’s a pump that actually works now. When you pour water on the top and move the lever, it brings up the water from bottom. It works with electric batteries…but if anybody has ever used this, it tells us how old you are. ;)

There’s an experience center here as well. We did not stay here cause we were at the wrong time but I guess it’s a good season to try it.

Wow…this is an old classroom. The door is too new, though!!! Well…it will be old soon as well anyway…

It’s called Borokku…It’s actually block but I’m more used to Japanese name, Borokku. I remember the world on the other side of this hole was like a totally new world as a kid…so I always wanted to look inside the hole. I see there are more facilities over there but…I was always caught up in the meeting time…T.T

You see the white sign that says Goraebbang Yeonguso(whale-shaped bun laboratory)? I had no time to drop by the shop…but whale-shaped bun…Bungeobbang(fish-shaped bun) does not have fish so this one should not have whale filling, should it? (Sorry about bad joke…T.T)
