January - Feb 2003 (Thailand and Korea travels)
Thailand
and Korea
In January 2003 we enjoyed the New Year in Seoul and we also went
to Thailand (visiting Koh Samet and Bangkok). Unfortunately, Valeria
and I were taking photos of all the great places in Thailand without
a film in the camera. I don't know how that is possible but that's
what happened. From talking to people since, it seems that many
of you have done something similar. Anyway, there are no photos
from the Thailand trip.
All
photos by Valeria Lo Iacono & Paul Symonds - 2003
Christmas Day was spent in an Irish bar called 'Gecko's'
in Seoul, Korea - for a total of 60,000 won (about £30)
we had received a delicious Western style roast dinner
buffet and deserts. For the New Year, like most people
around the world, we celebrated the New Year with a few
drinks and with friends. The picture/s above and directly
below show several of the friends who we shares the New
Year with. Photo above includes the Irish girls from right
to left - Ide, Helena and Alison. Below right Valeria
and Sam (from Hereford,UK).
Below
in absence of the Thailand photos, more pictures we have
taken from the local market in Seoul. Below you can see
a pig's head which lays ready for sale.Its very common
to see pig's head and its at least better than the sight
of the rear end of the pig. Also shown below are large
bags of chili peppers.
Sea food is very popular in Korea and you can buy strange
looking dried fish to chew on, from most street markets,
and you can also buy fresh fish from many places. I'm
not sure what kind of fish they are. Will find out.
