Prelude
A seven-hour international flight, one inter-city train and an subway ride later, I arrived at Daegu at nightfall. It took almost an hour of navigating on foot until I found accommodation – a miniscule hostel located three floors above a massage parlour run by Chinese migrants. Whimsically named “Peterpan Guesthouse”, the modest three-room apartment looks out into one of the glitziest, most expensive hotels in downtown – Novotel. In a city where contrasts align so starkly side by side, “Neverland” was truly at my doorstep.
