What about my beloved Haengshin Station, which can be considered as on the way to or from Changhung? I should mention that I heard tonight--as a result of the annual Chuseok phone call--that it was being turned into a subway station.

I'll echo <a href="http://www.rjkoehler.com/2006/10/02/music-nagan-folk-village-and-beolgyos-tragic-history/#comments" rel="nofollow">Andy</a>, and say that even if these posts only get a couple of comments, they're a valuable part of your blog. Interesting item about the railway stations...how come <a href="http://www.rjkoehler.com/2006/09/02/weekend-special-the-end-of-an-era/" rel="nofollow">Gomoyeok</a> in Daegu didn't make their list? Darn it! Thanks for the cultural update. I’ll echo Andy, and say that even if these posts only get a couple of comments, they’re a valuable part of your blog.
