Wantunn mee

Just realised that the pics are a bit too large. IE apparently doesn’t resize those images encapsulated in html.

Focusing on the 300D seems to be quite a bit of hit and miss. Noticed that quite a few of the pics are either out of focus or focused somewhere other then the focus point selected. hmm….

Another museum…this is the gift from Singapore to Korea (dunno for what). Is it me or does it look a lot like the pasar malam auction kind ha?

This type of tree seems fairly common in Korea. But I couldn’t be bothered to find out what it was anyway.

What else did you expect to find in Korea? The cars were mostly Hyundai, Kia, Daewoo, Saangyong etc. There was the occasional continental make as well, saw a few Mercs, BMWs, Peugeot, Chrysler et al. Did not see a single jap car though.

Lotte Theme Park (they pronounce it loh-teh). One of the amusement parks. There is another (bigger) one there if I’m not mistaken. Started by the Lotte company that originally dealt in Chewing Gum. Ironically, Chewing gum is not sold in the park to keep the place clean.

Another view of the outdoor area of the theme park. The indoor area is actually bigger.

There’s a parade in the park everyday at 8pm.

Anti-aircraft gun (I think) at the war museum.

A building used as a detention/execution etc ete centre when the North captured the South in the 40s(?)
The sign explains it all.
Those are REAL bullet holes in the wall
Another view of the building. I think it’s about one of the few times there was actually a blue sky while I was there.
Photographer in action. It’s a really long climb down to where he is.
Near the hotspring area where we stayed the night after visiting the DMZ
The view from a rest stop while heading back to the city. I think this is supposed to be the white tiger (bai2 hu3) mountain?
more to come…

As mentioned, here are some of the pics taken in Korea (or corea according to the tour guide )
Fertility Idol.  Hmm.. why is she touching it
Some herbs and stuff on display at one of the museums
One of the many palaces in Seoul
Where the China envoy stayed in olden times (when they controlled Korea)

A typical street in Seoul.  Most of the cables seem to be above ground
