Classy to Trashy

My apartment is in the middle of downtown Wonju. One of the perks is that I'm close to tons of shops, restaurants, and cafes. As an added bonus, there's a rose garden right behind my building! The weather is really nice so it's a great place to sit, read, and people watch. (Or to be watched considering that people are generally very interested in me...)



But what feels innocent and quaint by day miraculously transforms into a drunken Piccadilly Circus by night! Here's a pic of the street adjacent to mine that also borders the rose garden.



Some of the classiest establishment I've seen have to be the two right next to my building. On one side there's a "barber" shop and on the other there's a time defying pool hall.



I put barber shop in quotations because the double spinning wheels out front indicates that you get more than just a shave and a haircut. Seeing as most "hair stylists" are in their 60s, these places are only popular with old men.
