5 Black & White, 5 Colour (Korea, Beginning Week 6)
Not much time for a real entry right now. Trying furiously to write as many postcards as I can before leaving Seoul. Also trying to figure out our plans for next week. I think we're going to Busan for a week and doing some day trips around the south eastern region of Korea. It's the next easiest thing to do aside from going to Jeju Island, which we're not overly keen on (it's a lot like Hawai'i according to the books and also swarming with tourists in July and August). Been spending the last two afternoons walking along Cheonggye Stream with K. It's relatively cool late in the day and it's one of the few open spots she can walk around in that is both close to us that doesn't have motorcycles zooming on and off the sidewalks every few minutes. We also went to a library last week, the Yongsan Public Library (Yes, Adrienne, there is a photo and it will be on Flickr within a few days). There were some English books for kids and a nice reading room, but holy cow do the Koreans take the quiet in their libraries seriously. And there's been lots of visits to the children's playroom, Little Orchid, on the 6th floor at the Doota Shopping Mall. Finally, I'm trying to compile a number of little video shots to string together for some other entries, take more silly photos, take more pinhole shots (9 so far), and take more of the kind of stuff below. I've not shot as much as I was hoping, but I've done alright. Actually will be going to Chungmuro this week to buy some more film (hopefully I can even score a little bit of Kodachrome).
Wait, this is turning into a real entry. I don't have time for that. Here's some random negatives I got back this week:

Quiet libraries? BAH!
