#157 Simply Amazing: Seoul City

Let the pictures speak for themselves…

#153 And now to the west coast…

Aditya — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 13:18:00 +0000

Ganghwa Island, Incheon Airport, Wolmido and Incheon Metropolitan City.The west coast of Korea , is along the Yellow Sea. The continental shelf is wide and most of the water near the shore is dirty brown. This area is known for its muddy flat lands along the shore.

Ganghwa island is known as a combat zone and has many old fortresses to protect the country from foreign attacks a few centuries ago.

This is Korea’s Lucky Bird

The following pictures are from a Buddhist Temple in Ganghwa.
This is really how traditional Korea is…

We must put coins in this big bowl of water. If it hits the center, then our wish will be fulfilled. My coin landed many centimeters away from the center [:(]

But this was perhaps the sweetest water I have tasted so far in Korea… very pure and natural.

CHODING POWER

GODING POWER (goding: middle school students)

Construction underway: Incheon Airport – Incheon City Sea Link.
Once constructed, it will be around 12 kilometer long and will be amongst the three longest of its kind in the world.

And then we took this ferry to Wolmido… Yes our car went right inside :)

Korean cars, ready for export…

And in Incheon City: These are residential apartments.

Back to square one…

# 151 Wolmido… nice Quay

Aditya — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 04:23:00 +0000

Hmmmm So this weekend I went to Wolmido and China Town…China town in Incheon is the only Chinatown in entire South Korea… Not too big, just a small road and a park on the top of the hill. The park has a free for all gym instruments and its a favorite spot for old people :)

Next Stop Wolmido:
Beautiful place along the Yellow Sea. Nice Quay~ Lots of young people come for a walk, and especially just to eat sea food. This place is famous for its sea food like Oysters, shrimps, cuttlefish, lobsters and did I mention shells? Also from Womido wharf you can get ferry to Incheon airport which is just across the creek. You can get your car ferried across too… even buses are ferried in those huge ferries! Nice place to catch some sunset, some young people, cool breeze, colourful water fountains and skirts!

This is the center of Chinatown and the building with the glass windows is a famous as the first place in Korea to prepare the Jajangmyeon: Noodles with black Chinese Soya bean sauce. (very famous Korean Chinese dish)

These fluffy Tigers were sold for real cheap… I only wish I dint have a baggage limitation !

This is Abhi, from IITK, doing his internship at KICT.This is Incheon Port. A pretty colourful sight!
Behind the port, you see the Incheon Sea Link that would connect the mainland with the Incheon Airport island by 2009. It would be amongst the longest in the world.

Yours Truly

Old people love this place because of the free-for-all gym!

Welcome to Wolmido: This particular mean machine just throws the girls around! Pretty picture for on-lookers and I wonder if its embarrassing for the girls!

This was one hell of a ride! Its gone almost 90 degree and high in the air, rotating too!

This is the same Incheon Sea Link seen form Wolmido

Wolmido Quay

“Paint my face”

Look at this ferry: It ferries not just people, but cars and even buses full of people!

Cute Korean kids “Choding” (choding: elementary school kids) in water!

Sunset by the Yellow Sea! (Incheon Airport Island in the far backdrop)

And I twisted by ankle once again :(

This horse cart was funny, cause the main power came from a diesel engine kept in the read of the cart, even the horses neighs came from a loud speaker and not from the horse itself!

Cute Korean middle school kids “Goding“

#145 Junction Velocity

Aditya — Thu, 31 May 2007 07:52:00 +0000

This was just an unsuccessful attempt to capture a really big road junction in the night, with traffic moving at full speed… I only wish I was perched atop a tall tree!

#140 Sports at INHA

Aditya — Sat, 19 May 2007 23:49:00 +0000

Football game amongst students of Dept of Electrical Engineering.
Professor played too!!This is him…

Yunseong… Running for life…

“V for Victory” is the most common pose Koreans give while being photographed!

The orange team won… The blue team lost badly :(

This is girls playing a game like Baseball, but using their feet to kick a football sized ball!

A closer look…

Some Indians, Bangladeshis and Nepalis (I guess so…) playing cricket in one corner of the playing ground…

Girls and guys… skipping the rope…

#139 Inha by night…

Aditya — Sat, 19 May 2007 04:36:00 +0000

Reads “Inha University” when translated in English. This neon sign glows along the height of the Hi Tech Center.
This girl (lady) is a mother of a cute little girl! Everyone here looks so young…:)

#133 Street Behind INHA

Aditya — Thu, 10 May 2007 00:21:00 +0000

This is a city bus. There are blue and yellow buses too. They mean different types and fares.

On any given street, all the signals go green and red at the same time. Not like India where it is asynchronous. At the right side of the street, a little far away, the tall building is High Tech Center.

#132 Power Systems Lab

Aditya — Wed, 09 May 2007 00:15:00 +0000

Yours Sincerely.He is Deasoung. The only Masters student in the lab. All others are UG students. Have you seen UG students getting a lab with computers of their own in India? Not in IIT at least, not in my department at least!

This is my friend Yunseong. Very strong and good person. He ultra-mini laptop-like gadget is a Korean-English-Korean translator that is so helpful here.
Oh, and the two monitors, are of the same computer. Its called multi desktop. The mouse goes from one screen onto the other!

This is my desk with the computer (1.5 GB RAM, the minimum in the lab).

This is Jejuin. The third man. I dont seem the get the spelling of his name right.

This is the Power Systems Lab at High Tech Center.
There is a bed to sleep for those who work night out, basin to get fresh (not seen), room humidifier (green), projector, blackboard connected to printer (not seen), that prints whatever is on the board!, conference table, and computers for everyone with ultra ultra high speed internet. Yes 89 Mbps internet connection in a 100 Mbps LAN connection.
