Tig in Korea

[Guard Dog]

S. Korea is a cool place. I've been there twice. Mostly I just saw Pohang (not so nice) but I did get to see Taegu (beautiful) and Pusan once.

 

Very nice pics Tig.

Unfortunately, it's a female, which means that every fall it drops a crapton of foul-smelling fruit all over our yard.

 

I think that about describes women in general, if you replace "every fall" with "every end of the month".

 

Well, life would be lesser without them...

Beautiful pics! Looks like an awesome country. And you're a cutie, btw!

Wow, I was stationed in Taegu. Small world. I was stationed in Taegu and at Yongsan. During the Olympics no less! Keep up the photos, my Aussie friend!

I was at Pohang for Valiant Blitz 1990 and Team Spirit 1991. During Team Spirit I had to drive a hummer over to the AFB near Taegu to get a part for our Radar over at North Ramp. Sounds like I missed you by two years.

Yeah, I noticed over the years that we had a quite strong Korean connection here.

 

Of course, I was about five months old during the Olympics, and stuck in NZ during the World Cup. So much for national identity.

 

You look like a very nice young man Tigraines. I thought you'd be a lot older, much like your avatar.

 

Everyone thinks I'm old.

Yep. When I arrived the currency exchange was great for Americans. It still was when I left, but the won (wan? I can't remember how to spell the name of the currency anymore. ) made some serious advances due to the Olympics.

 

I spent about a year and a half in Korea. Great place. It wasn't all gems, but I came out of it with a decided affection for the people. In particular, I used to take long walks in a place called Chinhae. Actually, while I've been to Taegu, my memory pulled a trick on me and I had Taegu and Chinhae switched. I was stationed in Chinhae for a good chunk of time.

 

As for the pics, I think they're great. I'm glad you decided to show us a few shots of your mug. Next time, you should label them "Life with Tig" or some such. haha
