All the skiing and falling down before probably knocked whatever common sense that is left out off our heads. Fancy ice cream at -15 degrees celcius?

Finally, here we are in Seoul. THE city.

Ooooh... Ginseng Chicken Soup.

Like I said before... guys and their photography stuff. You'll do anything for that perfect picture even if it means having people stare at you while you're at it.

Some dog sled thing. I didn't have the heart to go for a ride, no worries, these dogs really love their owners very much and they are very well treated.

Visited one of the palaces around Seoul. This dragon craving was on the ceiling of the throne room. See the seven claws on the dragons' feet? That's not allowed. The number of claws on the dragon is directly related to the size of the country. China would have 7 claws, Japan 3 claws and Korea 4 claws. However, one of the Emperors of Korea in his defiance asked for the Dragons to be carved with 7 claws to match China. Amazingly, this act of defiance went unnoticed. The reason? He had the dragons carved on the ceiling and since everyone has to keep their heads lowered to the ground inside the throne room all the time, no one could see the ceiling.

That's me in my skiing gear. Posing and glued to the ground. First time ever to ski and even though it was not recorded... I went about 3 time down the beginners slope before calling it quits.

My Memory....
|
I think this was at Lotte Hotel or something. Picture courtesy of my friend's steady hands.
|
Awww..... perhaps I'm telling AO that there is an ice cream truck behind those trees...
|
Looking ever so cool. Not that it is that hard anyway if you think about the temperature this was taken.
|
Nami Island's the film site of the famous "Winter Sonata" smash hit tv serial. At a freakin' minus 5 degrees celcius, you would expect some sort of common sense with the dressing right? No way....

One of the coastal regions of Jeju Island. We're suppose to look for some Dragon's Head rock or something like that. AO's got a very interesting shot of the little old ladies selling freshly caught seafood by the sea.
|
At an "ALL IN" (a Korean tv serial) filming location. The church over yonder is a replica of the original which was blown off by the wickedly strong wind.
|
Enter the meditation support group. Must.... summon.... energy... for.... shopping....
|
Hiking up the Sunrise Peak at Jeju early in the morning requires extreme energy consumption measures.
|
Suppose to be nicknamed Dragon's Teeth. It's along the crater rim of the dormant volcano.
|
Thank goodness for stairs.

This is me waiting for the green man to come on. Yes, it IS me. What's with the ears I wonder.
|
Here we are. The Tokyo Raider team... in Korea of course.
|
Jeju City. I think I just MIGHT be able to pass this as a Tokyo shot.
|
Seriously, I don't know what is with guy's facination with cameras.
|
This is sheer exploitation I tell you!

I have no idea what came over me... I only wanted to try one and I cannot stop myself. There goes my low carbs diet and my hard work at the gym. Should have known better. After all, it is Arnotts.
