A Snowy Day in Bukchon

by Robert Koehler on January 11, 2008

We got our first real snow of the year in Seoul today.

To mark the occasion, I shot some photos in Bukchon Hanok Village during my lunch hour. Enjoy.

I, for one, would like one day of not having real snow.

Those are mighty fine pics, Robert – thanks for sharing. It brought back lots of winter-in-Korea memoeries, I could almost taste the hot boricha.

Looks like the adjuma in picture two is flipping you off. Nice pictures, it takes a professional to avoid getting telephone wires in a picture.

During my ten years in Korea, I have never, ever, wanted to live in Seoul, until seeing these photos. Thanks.

Beautiful – now I want to visit Korea more than ever. Is skiing expensive?
