Korea

I'm once again in Korea for business. I'm not supposed to be here since, but apparently my boss thinks I'm more experienced so I got pulled into it. Some interesting pics to share...


Darned! I guess they don't do threesomes... =[


This is the Gyeongbokgung palace in Seoul, the biggest and baddest in Seoul. This building is called Geongcheonggung... and I don't remember what its used for in the old days. It just looks to me like Samanosuke will appear at anytime and halve some vital part of my body... *ouch*


Most of the building had central heating by way of ducts underneath the stone floors that people could shove charcoal or wood into and set them on fire. Smoke inhalation was a worry, so they built chimneys. As the picture shows, luckily they remembered the fire hydrants =]


Spotted this fella trying perched along the longkang.


This is actually a model of life in the... old old unclothed days.


This building is called Gyeonghoeru, which translates to Happy Meeting Place. It's also the graphic on the back of a 10,000 Korean Won note. I think the Malaysian RM50 has the Proton City behind it... gotta make a trip there one day.


Ermm... wokay *walks through*
