Some pics I took when I was in Korea this past summer. Sorry for the stretched page guys, hope it isn't a too big problem.

Thats outskirts of Seoul, blue sky, pretty rare to see blue sky in the big cities.


Below is a blue sky in Anyang, its maybe 20 min south of Seoul, this is where I stayed at.


Below is a random street in Seoul. Very nice and great places for shopping and eating. Interesting is the number of Japanese businesses operating here.


Now a little history lesson. From 57 BC to 668 AC, Korea was ruled by three kingdoms, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla. I took some pics of some stuff from these kingdoms.


Below is a bronze crown for a Goguryeo King, during the Three Kingdoms of Korea about 4th or 5th century.


A Baekje sword.


Gaya armor


Gaya horse head armor


Silla gold crown. Pretty sweet since its pure gold and all shiny when I saw it


Heres some Joseon (1392-1910) navy cannons


Silla swords


A government royal seal


Baekje incense burner. This one is a national treasure.


Goguryeo roof tiles


Hope you liked these. I only posted a few of the pictures I took, I took about a 100 pictures in total, but some were bad quality. Korea was fun, pretty cool, just wanted to share some stuff I saw while I was there

Eww a museum but other than that pretty cool..

Pretty interesting. I hope to travel down there myself one day.

No pics of you destroying JM's HQ? Pretty cool either way. I would like to travel there or to another country in the area some day.

Never been in korea. I'd love to go someday (been in other asian countries).

Ty for sharing this. i would have loved to see more ambient pictures tho: forests, more mountains, etc.

I don't understand whats so funny about that

I've never asked a chinese person if they have sofas in their houses. Korea is a small country, or are you not capable of looking up on a map how big Korea is? I don't think Koreans are as stupid as you think, I'm quite positive that we're able to fit sofas into our apartments

didnt find joymax eh?

I'm not saying Korea is not a small country or the apartments are not big enough to fit sofas but apparently from all my friends and relatives that have traveled to Korea the locals seem to think Chinese people live in huts and brag about how much better Korea is.

Hmm.. those koreans most have been pwned hard when fighting with those 1dr swors/armors..

Korea is a better place to live anyway.

They say cockroaches are everywhere. I think Starbucks sees that as a challenge.

Next time, less antiques, more hot chicks. Even girls like hot chicks.
