UER Forum > Archived UE Website Updates > 폐허: abandoned places in Korea (Viewed 268 times) Steed  Location: Edmonton/Seoul Gender: Male Your Friendly Neighbourhood Race Traitor  |  |  폐허: abandoned places in Korea < on 1/30/2009 10:17 AM >   The old name of my site was Condemned Seoul. I don't live in Seoul anymore, so I figured I needed a less Seoul-centered name. This new title comes from the Japanese term for urban exploration, haikyo, or 廃墟. Haikyo means abandoned place, and comes from two Chinese characters, or kanji to the Japanese, 廃 which means abandoned and 墟 which means place. To Koreans, Chinese characters are called hanja and have somewhat different sounds. Haikyo in Japanese renders into 폐허. It is pronounced pehu, with the final u sound resembling the u in cud rather than the u at the end of Peru. http://www.daehanmindecline.com/UEseoul What's going on over at 폐허? -police and protesters clash in an abandoned neighbourhood, resulting in six deaths -abandoned amusement parks out the wazoo -UE karaoke -inside an abandoned church -rescued photo albums -Seoul's '60s vanity project in ruins -karaoke train rides -living in South Korea's serial killer capital (coming soon) -abandoned 747 (coming soon) UER Forum > Archived UE Website Updates > 폐허: abandoned places in Korea (Viewed 268 times) All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
