As always, random pictures are taken around Seoul and/or Korea, and don’t fit into any other posts. Enjoy!
Some of the barbed wire surrounding the Yongsan Garrison – definitely not something I want to mess with.
The barbershop poles don’t just mean a place offers haircuts. The classic (but unverifiable) urban legend in Korea is that the number of poles indicates how many ‘services’ they offer – one pole for a ‘just a hair cut’ place, two poles for more, er, options… This is unverified and unverifiable, of course…
Say ‘neigh’ to the horse for good luck – seen in one of Suncheon’s market areas.
Cuckoo clocks, anyone? Definitely not something you see a lot of around Korea. Also seen around Suncheon.
I’m not sure why they plant these outside in the middle of winter. Seen in Seoul.
Pie-in-the-sky planning for future building projects in Incheon. Seen at the planning center near Songdo Central Park – definitely worth a visit if you’re around the newer part of Incheon.
Folks, this is what happens when you try biking in, on, or around ice. Seen in Daejeon.
South Korea’s public art, cleverly hidden throughout the city. It’s just one pole, but it brightens up an otherwise drab part of northern Seoul.
