Right in the middle of a trendy neighborhood called Myongdong, a physically challenged, elderly Korean (Korean war veteran?) drags his way down the street with a music box blaring out trot music and a coin box tilted ready for donations. Many of Seoul's street beggars who have been maimed, use rubber tires wrapped around their limbs to cushion their movements and maybe even to accentuate the sense of rejection and lack of support from the society around them.
