OK here we go, I finally took the time to do a blog I wanted to do since I returned from Korea over a month ago.

On the 21st of September I took off on a plane for a 2 week trip to Korea.
I'm half Korean, half German (can't speak korean though )and the purpose of the trip was to visit family and obviously to enjoy this beautiful country.
(A little warning right from the start: this blog will not be about progaming at all.)

The plan was to stay in Seoul for a little while and then to go to Gyeongsan, which is the place where my family lives, and from there to rent a car, and just drive north along the east coast (we eventually got to the north korean border), always close to the sea.
Then before October the third we would return to Gyeongsang, to celebrate Chuseok, a big national holiday, which some like to call the Korean Thanksgiving.
I'm pretty proud of the pictures I've taken, especially since I pretty much learned how to photograph with my camera on this very trip.
If you like the pics you can put in some nice music and watch them all in a very nice full screen slideshow here
(button at the top right) - thx to Artosis for recommending me the site.

However, I put in the effort and also put most of the ones I uploaded into this blog (I do have about 700 more on my hard drive) , so
here we go, lets start with Seoul:

Thx for looking at my pics, I hope you enjoyed them



edit: somebody PMed me asking for a .zip file of the pictures, so I uploaded a package of jpgs I had exported on my harddrive to megaupload, it's not exactly the same selection of pictures as in this blog, may have some more of my brothers and me but most are the same

[url blocked]
600 mb though, so I still suggest you manually download them on my smugmug site http://ghostkey.smugmug.com if you like some of them.

Also, looks like you had a great time, I loved the temple pictures.
