There is a high level of respect for public property in Korea, so I think that's why graffiti isn't seen very often. (And why it's friendly in the rare occasions that you do, ha ha!) I didn't know it was so big in Australia.Midodokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578117549552021620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6554529202533217336.post-60911837469806260992008-03-19T07:59:00.000+09:002008-03-19T07:59:00.000+09:00Yeah gafitti art has never really taken off in Sou...Yeah gafitti art has never really taken off in South Korea. <BR/><BR/>When I came back to Australia after living in Seoul for 7 years, I was surprised to discover that the biggest tourist drawcard in Australia now is the grafitti lanes of Melbourne- apparently even young Asian tourists rank it as their biggest priority to see in all of Australia! <BR/><BR/>In Seoul though, it just hasn't taken off. <BR/><BR/>I think the most impressive grafitti I saw in Seoul was a scrawling quote from Joe Strummer of The Clash across a wall in the arty district of Hongdae.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
