Walled City

If you aren't sure what that is, they're anti-tank bollards across a creek at the north of Seoul. It blows the mind that Seoul has been a walled city for so long.  Even when it was Hanyang it was ringed with barriers to defend itself.  Understanding how long they have been living inside a fort, it is commendable that so many Koreans are not at all insular, and the few that are suddenly seem a little more reasonable.
