Jeonju-si

Today my friend Scott and I went to Jeonju-si, the capital city of the province Jeollabuk-do.

The first land mark we saw when we got off the bus, I really hoped we didn't get lost.



Ginseng and a taxidermist the weirdest combinatio of services a business could offer.



A busy busy busy street, I wouldn't jay walk if I had to.



More of the city at full optical zoom 18x.



More of the unusual smells that are in Korea.



Lotte Mart, like wal mart but this one has 8 floors and a basement.



Another pic of Lotte Mart and you can barely catch the 24 screen cinema on the left.



A hospital across the street from Lotte Mart.



A crane we saw crossing a bridge towards the hospital.



That is a current and I'm at about 10-14x optical zoom.



This Korean was a badass skater, he was doing all kinds of flip tricks.



It happened so fast, he did a kick flip to a manual and here is the end result.



Home Depot has nothing on this home and garden store.



Neither does Lowes.



The stairs leading to the entrance of the bus terminal.



The might bus.



Leaving Jeonju-si, it was a fun day I can't wait to come back.

Gunsan City

Well I went to Gunsan City today it was a lot to take in but I made it back home in one piece.




For some reason everyone that drives in Korea finds it necessary to watch TV while they drive.



Pick your own food on the street, very fresh.



Maybe this one looks good.



Some more in the tank, but you can't see them very well.



This is the most aewsome toilet seat I have ever seen, It opens and closes automatically, it dispenses an air cleaner, the seat heats, cools, & vibrates. This is a must in everyone's household.



If you own a radio station what do you do to get people to listen? You blast your radio station on a truck so everyone can see it.



Lotte Mart just like Wal0Mart but way bigger.



7 floors or Lotte Mart.



Danger/Warning what better way to say it than with a super anime sign.



A traditional house among the city.






City street



A ginseng shop very cool.



The arcade an open market of clothing, a woman's or metrosexual's dream come true. This place is huge.



Outside the main gate of the base waiting for the taxi.

All and all it was an adventurous day, I saw a lot I can't wait to go back again and visit the other arcades. I only found one store that sold video games and it didn't have what I was looking for. The next time I go maybe I will have more luck.

Just got my camera but no memory card yet...

I just got my camera today, by the time the batter was charged it was nite time. I still haven't received my memory card yet but hopefully it will come soon.



This is some banner across the street from my bedroom window.



These are some lanterns across the street from my dorm room. I tried 1/8 shutter speed on this one.



Same thing no flash though, 1/16 sec shutter speed. It was too windy and I didn't think it turned out that well.



More Lanterns






The moon on a cloudy nite full zoom and no tripod, a hint that I need one lol.



Daddy's Hog





My super bell keeps me safe.

Well that's what I got so far, but once I get my memory card I will have a lot more pics.
