Cheongjin-dong, a part of Seoul's downtown Jongno-gu(District, located between Kyobo B/D and Ujongguk-no, Sambok-no and Jong-no). At least since spring/summer 2004 it's one of Seoul's most disputed "redevelopment"/gentrification areas (there was also the starting point of the famous Pimatgol).
Here some (sad) impressions of the area's state in spring 2012(*)... That's all what the Construction Mafia left over from the "old" Cheongjin-dong:

PUNK REBELLION IN BURMA
Burma, the so-called 'Myanmar', is still one of the most repressive states in the world - although the ruling regime is currently opening a little bit for a kind of "democracy".
But nowadays you'll find there striking workers, first stirrings of a resisting civil society and an alternative, progressive culture...
And in the underground you'll meet a punk scene, ready to rebel against the ruling class and the (capitalist) system. The concerts are clandestine, the repression is brutal and the penalties are severe. Punk in Burma is not a 'lifestyle' - it's real rebellion!
