Seoul, Incheon and Busan.
Up where we belong
Probably the largest sluice gate I've ever seen.

No soup for you
Reine is trying to understand what he ordered. Some kind of mystery meat?

Lock stock
I've seen the tradition of newlyweds placing locks in public places in eastern Europe, but never in Asia before.

By the tube
The subway system is almost as great as the one in Beijing. Clean and efficient.

Built to last
The Changdeok Palace is one of the great palaces in Korea. This is Injeongjeon Hall, originally constructed in 1405 but suffered severe fire damage during the Japanese invasion 1592.

After having been photographed by endless amounts of curious asians for some weeks, I leaped at the chance of getting even.

Bridge over river Imjin
This is Freedom Bridge, the only bridge connecting North Korea with South Korea. It was used by 13000 South Korean and American POWs to leave North Korea and return to freedom. According to legend, their cries of freedom gave the bridge its name. The mountains in the background are the North Korean mountains near Kaeseong.
[Korean Demilitarized Zone]
Watchmen
The DMZ is the world's most heavily fortified border, creating a 155 mile long military demarcation line. Seven million Korean families are still separated by the DMZ.

At the 38th parallel
They discovered me, despite my sleek ninja moves.
