(december 2008, voanews.com) While things look calm for an expat, South and North Korea are officially still at war, because of that military service is compulsory for men. One [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seoul is a magnificent city; it&#8217;s the worlds second largest metropol but the actual commercial and financial center is about the same size of Berlin&#8217;s. To give you an idea – I took some pictures around Seoul over the past few weeks, click on them for a high resolution copy. (CC)

		<description><![CDATA[After weeks of sunshine it started to rain in Seoul today. We had a day off and decided to have a look at the Changdeokgung palace, close to our home. 

Greatest building in Changdeokgung, used for official ceremonies.
Nice colors!
The stone gate is called Bullomun. &#8220;Bullo&#8221; means &#8220;not to age&#8221;. Will it work?

Although it is not a long river, the lower Han is remarkably broad for such a relatively short river. Within Seoul city limits, the river is more than 1 km [...]]]></description>

I visited the British American Tobacco (BAT) factory in Sacheon together with the DBCK last week. The flight to Jinju was already scheduled at 07.30 AM, took a cab at 5AM.

I was curious about Busan because I like cities next to the sea, we spend some time on the beach, had an interesting night.
