standing waves: It's a Nikon D40 with a f/1.8 lens.  I'm not super technical, but I've learned to work my way with the DSLR.  It can be frustrating at first, because there are so many different things to adjust, but now, I can work it really fast.

memeu:  There are some pretty amusing restaurant/store names that are in English here, but I've never seen an official place with a mistake.  

shinerka:  FREAK!!  NO WHITIES ALLOWED.  J/k.  

donguri:  It's definitely cool, because it's so far removed from the Korean masses.  It was a huge relief to get away from Seoul and the pushiness.

sefure: Most people prefer the "arty ginger."  Alas!  

cooler_als_pennerschuhe: Wow, very cool!  I'm sure you'll have an amazing time.  For my two weeks...I might go to Spain.  Not sure!

Orange momo: I wish I had taken videos of Geomundo to show you guys, but I didn't bring my little point and shoot Canon. :(  Anyway, we can still get a drink in January. ;)

Thank you! (about the name)

Thank you! (about the name) I'm going to be studying abroad in Munich, Germany for a whole year. Oh yes, not an academic year, but an ACTUAL year. :) I'm quite excited by this, as you can tell. I'll be leaving on August 29th and probably won't get back until August 20th, 2009. The university classes end sometime in July (I think) and from then on, I'll be traveling around Europe and taking advantage of the international student discounts. Will you be traveling around South Korea for your two weeks off?

Jumping Ginger

Hoorah, a photo post! You're probably going to strangle me but I hope you get writers block more often ^^" I love Arty Ginger more than I do Writey Ginger,, ok I made that last word up... but you get the picture (pardon the pun... even though it was intended lol).. Absolutely adore your shots.

@standing_waves; I'll let Ginger anwser your query as this is her blog.. but if I may add a comment and suggest that you purchase a camera that suits YOUR personal lifestyle. A digital SLR is not for everyone, and I know first hand that many people give up carrying an SLR because whatever commitment they originally had for photography eventually dwindled away after lugging around 2 pounds of luggage. This goes double when you're on holidays where looking after expensive equipment is usually the last thing on the minds of most people..

That is on my list of places

That is on my list of places I must visit if/when I go to Korea. Wow the scenery is breathtaking. And it sounds like you had a blast. "POSTO FFICE" had me laughing for a while, what a cute mistake. Great post! I really enjoy your photos. <3

You probably get this a lot

You probably get this a lot but...what type of camera do you have? Your pictures are absolutely amazing and stunning!!! I'm looking to buy a new camera for a trip in the summer....I'd appreciate any recommendations! I'm not too knowledgable with techy stuff >__<

Joyce: Yeah, we definitely needed a break from the city. Of course, this weekend...it's back to Hongdae. -_-; 

Koncettina:  I'd been swimming in the Med in Italy before, and it was stunning, but that water was a light crystal blue.  This was a deep aqua/teal--really, really gorgeous, as well.  I had fun counting down to three and having my friends whip their heads around to catch the crazy wind.  We have a million outtakes because of awkward facial expressions, though.

Cooler als Pennerschuhe: (that's quite a name, by the way) I know what you mean!  I get to travel for 2 weeks this summer and I'm so excited and overwhelmed.  How long are you staying in Germany?

pdurrr:  A lot of the hikers opted out of climbing the mountain.  I almost did, since I have some mild vertigo, but I figured that I really ought to just suck it up and do it.  It was totally worth it, although--once we were up on top in our victory poses--someone was like, "...and how the hell are we getting down?"

saera:  Thanks! I took way, way too many pictures.  It was hard to keep adjusting the settings because we would go into extreme shade and then go into extreme sunlight.  I don't like using the auto settings on my camera, so I got to know my camera a LOT better after that day trip.

Barbiegrace:  Korea definitely has some sights, they just don't advertise them.  Some of the older Koreans I know were confused, like, "why would you want to go to that small little island with no shopping/good restaurants when you could go to Jeju?"  They didn't get that the entire appeal was that it was so uncommercialized and removed from the touristy atmosphere.

Oh I haven't commented on

Oh I haven't commented on your last couple of posts/entries but I read them both! ^^ Yes, even the "intolerably" long one! I'm really liking this photo post, especially since you take such beautiful pictures. Whenever I take a picture...there's one word that comes to mind: disaster. Haha...I should probably practice before I go to Germany. In any case, that island and its waters look absolutely amazing and gorgeous (probably an understatement). I'm itching to travel even more now. I feel so restless thinking about this :)

It's refreshing to know other people like going into freezing water!!! The pictures were just wonderful! I've never seen such a beautiful color of blue! The picture of Dean and your friend was probably the best. Very beautiful! I'm glad you had fun and got to relax.
