Bleak Looking South Korea
Taken on the journey from Seoul to the International Airport :: February 2010
Namsan Park - Hanging Man
He’s actually suspended from some wires, but I thought it would be cool to remove them and have him in midair!!
I already have a image of this sculpture form a trip to Seoul last May - I hope this will complement it!
Yong Pyong Ski Resort :: South Korea
It’s February half term (and Chinese New Year), so I’ve gone to Yong Pyong with some friends for 5 days.
This is the view from one of the hotels.
…and no I’m not in Pyongyang, North Korea!!
Fishy Korea
Small dried fish are very popular in Seoul, so the extent that there are whole markets just selling fish.
Protesting
15,000 police out in force just in case there were any problems following the funeral of South Korea’s ex-president. I have been wondering whether it was worth it??!!
15000 Police on duty in Seoul, May 2009
Scores of police buses were parked bumper to bumper in the city center. Riot police with shields stood guard at corners and subway exits.
Police declined to comment on security operations. Yonhap news agency said more than 20,000 riot police will be mobilized when the funeral procession rolls through the city center to a historic palace.
Police out in force in Seoul
South Korea Friday deployed 15,000 riot police in central Seoul as the funeral of former President Roh Moo-Hyun began, amid fears a national outpouring of grief would spark anti-government protests.
That many police all waiting patiently was quite an amazing site. Along every roadside, every corner, one could become a little nervous!
Sea of Yellow
Downtown Seoul was a sea of yellow, a colour associated with Roh, as tearful supporters tied thousands of balloons to police barriers along the funeral route. People release balloons during the public funeral of former South Korean president Roh Moo-Hyun on May 29, 2009 in Seoul, South Korea.
Seoul :: Funeral Images
Anger mixed with sorrow as hundreds of thousands of South Koreans — mothers pushing strollers, businessmen and long-haired artists — flooded into the streets Friday to mourn the death of an ex-president who some say was driven to suicide by political rivals.
This week features images from the funeral, as well as images from around Seoul.
