First off, all you dallas-houston and toronto-montreal people fighting, shut the hell up.
1.Tokyo, Japan- to me, every picture i see of tokyo looks great....... chiamattt: [[img:24913]]
this is what the route of my walk looked like. I started at about 2pm and finished at about 5pm. The read boxed area is a high police-bus presence area as its the area that...... serlingrod: You can hardly find a $2 bill in America.....looks like Seoul is the place to get em. Here are some crane games I found in Tokyo (obviously took the pic cause of the name of...... chiamattt: Thanks adam.
Testeez, I am a Torontonian that has been living and working Seoul, South Korea for the past five years. Every year or so I head to Osaka to get my Korean employment visa...... Elicar: Yes, it is ONLY 12 hours. And it is a looooong 12 hours. You can only watch so much movies and can only sleep so much in those cramped economy seats. On rare occasions, my...... Tony: I disagree with your top 5 ...certainly Shanghai, Tokyo , Seoul and Bangkok have denser more impressive skylines than Toronto and Dubai! Several other Asian cities may be better too...yes it's true... chiamattt: EvilGentleman,
#2 Badminton
#15 Drunk person crouching
#17 Lights behind pillows at a crappy bar.
Banners are EVERYWHERE. (These shots are in Gwang-ju, not Seoul...but yeah...Korea is Korea)
The bike in #34 does not belong to the man in...... EvilGentleman: 48 pics in one post? Holy shit, glad I have a fast connection.
The night shots are awesome.
Pictures #2, 15 and 17 need explaining.
#4 makes me dizzy, but I love it.
#11 seems so lifelike, feels like...... chiamattt: I have seen that truck around Seoul a few times, but I have never heard it in action.

I really wish I could have made it to Seoul. ... colavitos ghost: more night-time shots of seoul, please!
i always enjoy your posts, but the way you're able to capture the nocturnal light of the city is really really cool. keep it up.... EvilGentleman: Chiamattt, you actually found a Hello Kitty item in Seoul? Wow, what are the odds? That's about as rare as Barbie stuff in Los Angeles, or poutine in Montreal. Hehehehehehehe :P
Double NYAH!! (and an EvilGrin®)... Andy: The last photo is of the Seoul Station train platforms, which is the main train station. The subway at this station is underground so that's where all the people are. Nevertheless you're right, it was...... kricket: good shots. going by them, seoul's public transit system looks like a mall.... Andy: I'd have to say I prefer the view from Seoul Tower at night.... chiamattt: They are not carpets. They are textiles. That shot was taken outside of a large Seoul textile market.... chiamattt: EvilGentleman,
I hold my camera in my right hand at my side as though I were just carrying it somewhere. I just walk and take pictures of things on my right.
If there is a...... Chung: Those photos capture nothing special. You photographed Seoul like a low grade digital would for a street in Brooklyn. You didn't capture the high rises, the dichotomy of city and country, crowded streets...... serlingrod: seoul reminds me of tokyo, only dirtier. ... CartLegger: Wow! You really brought Seoul to life in these pictures. But where is the "Host" creature that we Americans brought to life? ... Sammy: Wow, that motorbike is hot. I'd love to see more of Seoul.

There are benches to sit on...but...... chiamattt: GGP: dude/dudette, pretty much all of my posts are of Korea(mostly seoul). Im looking to get some bulk neg scanning done. Gotta up Cambodia. Boh!... chiamattt: jeeff: institutional art is HUGE in Seoul. Almost every new building does it. Some are cool. Some are obviously just there to be there. I liked the 'stylized mountains'. They were part of a much...... chiamattt: Peter, I used to have about 80 milkcrates in my Seoul apartment.

A friend of mine in Seoul used to live in an apt that had a really steep...... chiamattt: prostitution is not legal in Las Vegas. You have to leave the city and use a state sanctioned brothel.
Perhaps the sex crime rate has not actually gone up. Maybe it's just reported more because women......

It is time to move on. ... chiamattt: I like Seoul a lot. It is definately a great city, but I just don't like my job.

... chiamattt: The more cities I see the less I miss Toronto. Living in Etobicoke doesn't help much either I guess. There are things about Toronto I miss, but for the most part...I just don't like the...... Elicar: I'll pay the flat rate airport limo fare rather than grabbing the train. Especially from Seoul? Whooo...that's at least 13 hours to O'Hare? Then from O'Hare to Pearson? I will be in no mood to...... chiamattt: There are only three parking methods in Seoul.
