Motorcycle Deliveries

In Korea gasoline is a precious commodity. So, as many things as possible are delivered by motorcycle and scooter! The post office has a fleet of them as does every pizza place in the city. During the busiest hours of the days packs of 15-20 motorcycles will be congregated at red lights. It was a slow morning.

Fountain Fun!

Alex and Robin have fun in the fountain out in front of our apartment!

Nighttime at Yongsan-gu (May 7, 2007)

As nighttime falls the streets start buzzing with people shopping, picking up flowers and visiting with friends. Many snack stands open for business as men and women make their way home after a long work day.
