Seoul/Suwon pictures
october 21, 2008 02:01pm – in Korea
Here are some pictures as a precursor to the coming video blog:
8-bit knight. A tile mosaic in a subways station.
And speaking of Mosaics, this restaurant in Suwon was all done up in irregularly shaped stones. I was impressed, but my standards might be low. Modern Korean architecture ordinarily ranges from rough approximation of classic Korean architecture, or dystopian nightmare of uniformity.
Suwon features another famous example of great Korean architecture that I will feature in the video blog.
Horrifying bird statue in a cafe in Insadong, Seoul.
Stranger taking my photograph. Technically in Gwangju not Seoul. This is one of the annoying things I will talk about in my upcoming video blog.
