- no chr.!
Myeong-dong, a famous district in downtown Seoul, isn't just composed of dozens of sparkling shopping centers and sky scrapers! There are also a few areas where you still can find some small and older houses, including a lot of cozy restaurants (like the Tibetan "Potala"), coffee shops, mom-and-pop stores etc...
Myeong-dong (sub-)district no. 3, located between Eulchi-ro and Myeong-dong Cathedral, is still such an area... But, possibly, not much longer! Because the entire territory is designed as "redevelopment" zone, where Daewoo Construction (mafia) will build for Kookmin Bank and IBK(기업은행) office blocks, i.e. new f*cking sky scrapers.
So, it means that the people who are living and/or working there were ordered to leave and the date was already for last month. But at least 42 people/tenants rejected eviction order and started two weeks ago a sit-in struggle to resist/fight against coming (forced!!) eviction.
Two days ago Michel, the MTU's chairperson, an Nepali migrant worker and me visited the sit-in center to express our solidarity with their struggle.
Yesterday afternoon I went there again to get more impressions of the area and here you can follow my tour, beginning in front of the Myeong-dong Sit-in Struggle 'Center'...
PS:
Possibly(?) it's needless to say, but the people there who are struggling for their right to exist, i.e. to earn some money to feed their families, need our SOLIDARITY!!!
