Oksu On the way home one night I walked by Oksu and had a quick look to see how things were going. |

Return to Dangook On my second trip to Dangook I took some help along. First Mike and Diane showed up, and while we were exploring an abandoned science building I got a call from Brandon. Later on two of his friends joined us, both of whom made their own independent forays onto the campus. One of the guys considers himself a ghost hunter, and maybe because he doesn't have a camera the security guards seemed to like having him around. Mental note: get out of this urban exploration thing and start hunting ghosts. |

Dangook University Just out on my scooter, I saw something off the main road that roused my attention. It wasn't much more than a metal fence. Coming in closer, I didn't see anything too much out of the ordinary, just a university campus with absolutely no students, and totally fenced off. I drove around it partways before discovering that it was totally abandoned. It turns out this university recently moved to a different location, totally abandoning its Seoul campus. |

Return to Oksu I stopped by Oksu again, where I was surprised to see that building I explored with Jung several months ago was still standing. Not much has changed, although I didn't see the cats. |

Isu On the way home, I passed by some evening demolition. It was a big lot with one active building in the middle, and the one on the far side was safe. I got inside and found it was another restaurant. |

Sangdo We still had a bit of time left after the air force building, so I showed Laura and Matt to Sangdo, an area I hadn't really explored before. From the main road there are a few blankets and dirt lots visible, but back behind them you can see a ton of crazy abandoned buildings. We looked around there until it was too dark to see. |

Boramae Lately I've been having dreams about this place in Boramae, so I decided to go back there, and Laura and Matt came along. When I got there, the front gate was open and I told Laura and Matt "We either have really good luck or really bad luck." Fortunately the side gate was open too and we walked right into the main building unimpeded. It turns out it was a department store on the inside, but of course since it's the air force there were all sorts of alien creatures running around. |

Maps I used Google Maps to find some of the places I've visited in Seoul. Of course all the condemned places. I'm not sure what date this satellite imagery was taken, but you can see some newer sites before they were abandoned and some older sites which are built over. |
