Your focus on late 19th-to-early 20th-century architecture is fascinating, but rather than just focus on the few really well-known buildings from that era, you're digging up all kinds of obscure structures, like this one, or that Anglican church on Ganghwa-do, or the whole town of Ganggyeong, or those western-Korean fusion houses in Daejeon or wherever it was. <b><i>How the heck do you even find this stuff</b></i>—given that much of it seems to be so out-of-the-way? Very neat.

A book showing the historical architecture of Korea is exactly what Korea needs to boost its tourism, and I don't mean a book about the same old temples and homes of long dead monarchs and war heroes. The problem is that the tourist information written by foreigners is aimed at backpackers and the stuff written by Koreans is aimed at steering the tourist towards tourist traps and a few of the same old sites.
