Gateway to A-town - a photo on Flickriver

Gateway to A-town

            "Okku-Silver Town, or more popularly America Town, caters to US troops. Located about 5 kilometers from the main gate of Kunsan Air Base, America Town hosts a multitude of bars, dance clubs, restaurants and souvenir shops."
(text from wikipedia)

This was sooooooooooooooo disappointing.  I've been hearing about A-town for almost 30 years.  oh, the stories that were told of the streets of this village.  For years I pictured it as an Asian version of Las Vegas.   When I finally saw this legendary place my reaction was very much like my first glimpse of the Alamo....
"that's it?!?  Where's the rest of it??!!!?"
