My American Neighbour

My house is located on a hill adjacent to and overlooking the largest American military base in Korea.


To reach the subway from my house I have to walk down a steep hill along one side of base wall (the barbed wire is the first clue that this is not an ordinary neightbour!)...


Turn the corner just past this yard often filled with various Hummers and big trucks...


And then walk past this entry gate and along another side of the base wall to reach the subway. If I was able to walk a straight line from my house directly to the subway I could probably make the trek in five minutes, instead of the 15 minutes it takes now.
