In Seoul

Guesthouse

Drink Responsibly



Government Cafeteria


Korean Backgammon or something.



The museum of culture, with a diorama of pot making in Korea. I took the picture for all those people in Stoke on Trent fascinated by pots.



Spirit Poles, for something.

Railway to Seoul


Ulsan, crossing the river just north of the Station. Every city in Korea looks like this.


This is how you know you're in Ulsan. The Hyundai cars.



The pretty bits I never take pictures of.


The only city in Korea that looks different. Gyongju, world heritage site. Looks nice.

Ulsan Festival

This is the Ulsan Festival, an open air concert on Ilsan Beach. That night was a Korean Hip Hop act. Kind of like Will Smith, but less threatening.

School remodelling



Fan Death

There is little information about the Korean phenomenon of 'Fan Death' (look it up, you wouldn't believe me if I told you). However, when they have fans this size, you have to wonder...

Around the neighbourhood


The north side of the harbour

The same point, just looking in the other direction. Lots of seafood.

There's a church every few minutes walk.. this hut is next to the allotments.

Yoki



Yoki is a Yorkshire Terrier, I'm told. She's a bit on the small side. As part of Ms. Choi's family, she spends a lot of time in the school. I'm surprised one of the children or staff hasn't accidentally injured here yet. She spends most of her time barking at strangers or begging for food, and has brutally attacked some people, leaving slight dents on their skin.


That's my desk and my boot for scale. Yoki was not harmed.


Yoki leaving the office at the end of the day, just about to take the bus home with Mr. Cho.
