There is no grass!

So I was trying to explain to my mom the other day about the lack of grass in my neighborhood. I live in the financial district, so even though my apartment is back in its own sidestreet and not a high-rise concrete monolith like most, we still do not have yards. To find grass, you need to go to a designated area, like a park or wetland.

I took some pictures of my neighborhood to illustrate this point:

This is the street directly outside my apartment building.

This is looking down the street towards the Gangnam Financial Center.

When I come out of the alley, this is what I see.
