Seoul's Foreign Neighborhoods

It is said that South Korea is the only country where a Chinatown could not take root. Indeed, in what is by some statistics the world’s most homogenous country, the presence of foreign communities has been hard to come by.


The fabled 'Foreign Neighborhood'...

It's cute. It would fit into a shoebox. This is probably the size of a Torontonian neighborhood for gay albino Inuit.

Seoul also has an upscale French village in Seorae Maeul, Seocho-gu. About 20 percent of Korea’s French residents, or more than 450 people, live here. The main road of this village is called Montmartre Street. Blocks of three colors symbolizing <> - white, blue, and red - are enlaid in this area’s sidewalks.

I feel faint...
