Hey guys!
Spent the last couple of days in a remote area up in the northeast corner of South Korea, which is why I haven't updated. There was internet access, but it was a bit expensive, so I figured I would wait until back in Seoul.
Anyway, as promised: Photos from South Korea!
This one is from Itaewon in Seoul. Apparently the steps behind me are used in lots of Korean films. Usually involving chases (I belive often using motorcycles and other entertaining stunts)
This one is of a weird concoction the Koreans eat. Take a hot dog, skewer it onto a stick, then some bread-like substance. Fairly standard so far? Well, then the fries are stuck to the edge and its all held together with batter before being deep fried. Do you feel your arteries hardening just thinking about it? 
This was where a lot of Koreans were new years eve. There is a bell on the second level that rings 33 times. 33 apparently beinga lucky number. They got 33 different people to ring the bell.Unfortunately, we didn't get there for new years, but was stillgood to see it...
Koreans take Christmas quite seriously. This thing was about 10 metres tall and was about 40 metres in diameter. Around Christmasthere was a whole mass of stuff like this that makes the Australian decorations look positively pathetic.
More in part 2!
