These lights are new, but even though the sign is composed of familiar words, I don't get what they're saying. At times like these, I despair of ever mastering Korean. 

꽃따라 (ggot ddara) = according to flowers

나도 (na dō) = I, too

꽃피네 (ggot pinae) = flowers bloom

Is this saying "I bloom like (spring) flowers"?

I'm pretty sure this sign below is saying, "Tomorrow is too late! The world is hurting!" But I've never seen that 늦으리 verb form before. Guess I should get out more. 

The tape graffiti I saw the other week is disappearing, but some of it remains. Below, the guy's cap has the initials "SP," for Songpa, the region I was in. 

The word 삶, seen below, is one of many Korean words for "life."
