Scenes I Shot in Korea
I’ve been busy with one thing and another lately, and my computer has been acting up, so I haven’t had much chance to post. Since I’m doing food posts anyway, I’m going to put up a whol…

The day before Chuseok I went out to Yeonan Pier. The main goals were to try the abalone ramyeon and to buy some seafood. Ever since I started university in Seoul, I haven’t really gone around Incheon be…
As you would expect from the largest karst plateau in Japan, Akiyoshidai has some big limestone caves. Three of them are well known and open to visitors, and I went to see the biggest one, Akiyoshido Cave. Nea…
Yamaguchi is home to Akiyoshidai, the largest karst plateau in all of Japan. It’s only about 30 minutes by car from Hagi, so we had a light breakfast and set off. As you’d guess from the name Yamag…
Iwakuni, right on the border between Yamaguchi and Hiroshima, has a bridge called Kintaikyo. It’s a wooden bridge built the traditional Japanese way, apparently made by joining timber to timber with hard…

There are quite a few nice parks inside Tokyo. It’s a bit like how Seoul has the Han River banks, Cheonggyecheon or Yangjaecheon. But Yoyogi Park connects straight onto Harajuku and Shibuya, so it’…
Senso-ji in Asakusa, which I visited on this Tokyo trip. Back when I lived near Tokyo I never once felt like going, but somehow I ended up there this time. Well… since I was there anyway, might as well t…
