Day 66: A House is Not a Home

Especially when no one is living there. My friend and i stumbled upon this monster three story house in Hongdae of all places, with the oddest design (very Western) and strangest add-ons. The all brick exterior is cool, but then you throw in that small little wood alcove on the third floor; it was either intentional or an add-on. The house looks new enough to be an add-on, but if you'd seen the house you'd notice that that was the least strange of it. On the second floor you can see a door and a small, i mean very small, balcony. My question is this: Where is the door leading? The door looks to be like a front door, not just a balcony door, and so you have this door that leads nowhere on the second floor. All around the windows and doors are these black plastic boxes or something, first thought to be lights, but there is no rhyme or reason to their placement, so I doubt they are lights. Then I thought perhaps it's part of their ADT security, as they do looked to be electrical in nature. In any case, from the outside, it looked as if this house was completely empty and uninhabited, even though the windows were open and the balcony doors above the 2 car garage were sprung outward. I don't know what to make of this house, except that even in America people would wonder what kind of funk is going down.
