Daegu: Streets of Dongseongro

^{Uniqlo bratop + skirt (from Gumi) + Nordstrom striped tights + H&M platform shoes + T-shirt & Jeans bag}

We’re lazy leisure travelers, the both of us.

Dongseongro was a surprise of Keith Haring brick walls, awesome signage, even more awesome store interiors, and apparently home to this grandma I’d like to become some day:
