Pictures

I took thousands, tens of thousands, of pictures when I lived in South Korea and visited other countries in Asia. People back home might not have had a good sense of where I lived and where I'd gone, and can't relate to much of what I write on my blog, but they can certainly enjoy the pictures and see what I've seen.

Often when I visit someplace particularly interesting, to me, I end up doing a post on it, and you'll find loads of pictures and descriptions in the category "My travels." You can also take a look around my Flickr page. Here's a selection from my folder "Greatest hits," with some of my favorite pictures from South Jeolla province:

And there it is a year later.

There's plenty more on my Flickr page, though I've fallen behind with my uploads and haven't even started thinking about planning to intend to label all of them, but I'll get around to that soon enough.

Some of my pictures have accompanied my contributions to local newspapers and magazines, and I am pleased to have twelve, as well as an interview, in the Moon Living Abroad in South Korea guidebook released in December 2009.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked them!

Truth be told, there is a lot of nice scenery all over the country, not just in Jeollanam-do.

I'm so happy that I've discovered your blog. Not sure if you'll get this but WTH...

I am Korean but was adopted and know virtually nothing of my nationality or culture. I am happy to be seeing Korea through your eyes and would love to go one day.

Thx for sharing your experience!!
