Today I'm heading to Germany, planning to be back online some time next week, but only to pop in and look around.
I will be back on track in flickrland end of March, I guess.

I will mis you all!

My bathroom in that place and the room with the washing machine.
Looks like crap, but I loved the open, big shower. No hitting your elbows at the cabin wall or sticky curtains around you :)
You could walk from the bedroom right through there into the Computer room.

I told you about Koreans and their way of building stuff.
You need another room?
No problem. Let's build one at the end of the house or put a cabin on top of the house ;)

Going through my archives I found some crappy quick snapshots from our last place over there which I forgot to show you :)

Our yard. I loved it.
I loved the house too.
No nosy, stressful landlords living close by. Sunny, but not too hot. And I had my own plants. I miss those too. I even had some chilly and tomato plants :) Oh, maybe this summer I can have some again :)

Sorry for the crappy quality. Took them in a hurry on one of our last days there :)

Some luck for you

I am cleaning my archives in the attempt to maybe finish my back-up CDs any time soon.
I still have to do all 2005, but I am working on the ones from Korea from this year first.

It's kind of hard in a way. So many memories. I have seen these places and people, especially in Waegwan, where we lived, for two years and it's kind of weird to look back now and remember how it was.

This shop was down the street, from both apartments where we lived in. The lady helped me quite a few times and tried quite hard to get us to rent one of her apartments, but I always kindly refused. Never again a landlord that lives too close to me ;)

The pictures that I will upload the next few days are probably mostly crappy snapshots like this one with loads of nostalgic memory (not that the time over there really deserves it ;), so bare with me ;)

Big desk is hubbys and the small one to the right was mine ;)

Hubbys bathroom.
They had to built the sink there. It didn't have one before. They just used a hose like in old days. A big plastic bowl and a hose. They squad on the floor and wash themselves like that, sometimes they do it with a group of women.

The bathtub in here was pretty cool too. Imagine a bathtub that's surrounded by three walls. Two at long ends and one at the small. Now try to imagine me cleaning that thing. Yeah. Got it? ;) Koreans are SMART :)!

Dogs Life - or the walk down the memory lane (2)

nobody@ipernity.com (NicoleB) — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 08:25:02 +0000

NicoleB has posted a doc:

A dogs Life in Korea is still one of the worst you can imagine.
They spend it either as a toy, with died hair, at a short leash at the front gate of the houses, in cages to soon be food or as stray dogs because they are no longer cute, left behind by foreigners. Whereas the stray dogs are the ones that are better off.
Sure, there are exceptions and slowly but steadily Life for them gets better, but the majority will end their Life that way.

Like here in Hungary, butchering in private is still a normal thing in the rural areas.
Here I could watch one of my neighbours killing a cock

Nice fence and yard - or the walk down the memory lane (7)

nobody@ipernity.com (NicoleB) — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 07:32:55 +0000

NicoleB has posted a doc:

In my experience in the rural little town we lived in, the people either were very clean or they didn't bother to pick up any trash.
They also used all kinds of stuff that other people threw away for trash. I saw a lot of interesting fences for example.

Traditions - or the walk down the memory lane (4)

nobody@ipernity.com (NicoleB) — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 08:47:44 +0000

NicoleB has posted a doc:

Almost every country has some sort of Traditions.
In Korea it's the "Leave the shoes outside the house"
A good tradition in a way, because the streets are always very dusty and dirty and who once had to clean a house in Korea knows what I mean.

What always amazed me about Korea, no matter if it was Seoul or our small town, was the old and new, modern and old contrast.

A cat's Life - or the walk down the memory lane (9)

NicoleB has posted a doc:

Cats don't have a much better Life than dogs in Korea.
For long years they were hunted and killed, because they are supposed to be sent from the devil. Still you see a lot of cats without a tail. And I haven't seen one Korean with a cat as a pet (again, in the rural area where we lived)
