Shilla Dynasty Roofs

These are some shots taken at the Shilla Millenium Park at Kyong-ju in the south east of S. Korea. They have more Japanese influence in their construction, due to its location (quite close to Japan).

Pottery Urinals and Hand basin

Busting for a leak, I came across these fascinating installations. I just had to give them a go, worked quite well and beats the boring standard white ones. Then it was time to wash the hands, in an equally fascinating basin installation.

The National Staple dish of Korea

This unsuspecting looking bowl of red and white food stuff is Kim chi, the national dish of Korea. It isn't a meal in itself but a side dish that is eaten with the other national staple, white rice. The main ingredient to make up the dish is

I credit this one to Pete my fellow classmate at Uni and his unfiltered view on existence.

Question. What is the point of twitter? I fail to understand its usefulness, unless you are a stalker or obsessed with your own ego and want everybody to know about your mundane existence. Much like a blog really.

Twitter entry; Just ate a suspect bowl of noodles, now on the can. Hang on.(plop) That's a relief... as I saying...not again, hrrrmmm. Damn that stinks.

I have an experiement to undertake. Let's see if it does any good.
