I got robbed once and almost mugged on another occasion. Regardless of it all, the place has a soft spot in my heart and this thread kinda made me want to walk down memory lane one of these days... and maybe grab some real Chinese grocery items while I'm at it.
The last time I was there was at least a decade ago and I wasn't even on Ongpin. I was looking for electronics stuff along Raon.
Sorry for the OT.
