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. :ermm: ) 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 :down:
