Fish

 

Bought some new glass today, an 18-200 VR Nikkor.
It's very nice. This is one of my first pics with the aforementioned lens.
It's some fish.

Seoul

On Friday I went on a hike with a few of the teachers up Sorak Mt and got some spectacular views of Seoul, if such an adjective can really be applied to the view that is the endless rows upon rows of apartment blocks. I am being a little unfair as there were some unspoiled and beautiful views looking the other way, but, strangely Seoul seemed to be the more compelling, perhaps because of the unendingness of it's apartments.

 

 

 

Would you buy food from this man?

Saw this character selling food from a street stall as I was cycling home this eve, and as my camera was with me, I thought it would be remiss not to take his photo and then share it with anyone person who may intermittently look at this blog.

 

 

 

 

Picture from the last couple of weeks

 

Down but not forgotten

I know it says picture a week, and I know that not what's happening, but theres a good excuse, honest. I've just moved to a new place, and havn't yet got t'interweb set up, but that should be piped into my apartment tomorrow, so I'll have no excuses and will chuck up a few pictures from the last couple of weeks, and, hopefully, keep on top of things thereafter...maybe...

Back in the South

Well, I'm once more in the Seoul area about to start a teaching job. This time I working at an elementary school near the Mia-sagorey station up on the blue line in the NE of the city, which is good as it's close to Ben and Sarah, so I'll have some friends not to far away. I'm currently at a conference center in the middle of nowhere learning the basics about Korean with about 50 other teachers. It would be great if this was my first time here, but not quite so good for a lot of us who have already been here. It's not too bad, but the combination of the location, the loose schedule, (which I'm not complaining about) and a lack of wifi means there is a lot a free time with not a great deal to do. Still, having fun getting to know my fellow teachers. Right I have to head off now, so I'll update later.
