작년 7월말, 경남 함양에 갔다가 잠깐 안의면(안의마을)에 있는 함양허삼둘가옥(중요민속자료 제207호)에 들렀습니다. 전통가옥과 관련된 답사중 가장 우울했던 순간으로 기억되었죠. 함양허삼둘가옥은 지난 2004년 방화로 추정되는 화재로 인해 내부가 검게 그을러진 상태입니다. 함양에는 방화로 훼손, 소실된 전통건축물이 몇몇 있습니다. 이곳 함양허삼둘가옥을 비롯하여 농월정(소실), ... [Link]

한수명오리고가(좌),김세균판서고가(우)전경.. 제천에서 월악산입구를 거쳐 수안보쪽으로 향하면서 담아본 풍경입니다. 원래는 계획에 없었던 코스인데 우연히 눈에 띄어 잠시 발길을 멈추게 되었지요. 고가 뒷편으로는 월악산이 병풍처럼 자리잡고 있네요~ 사실 이 두고가는 원래부터 이곳에 있던 것은 아닙니다. 충주댐건설로 인해 두 고가가 수몰위기에 처하면서 이곳에 ... [Link]

Yeah. I’m certainly not impressed. So, South Korea sent planes as a response…Standard OP and no big deal. In war, though, you don’t waste your time with such charades. Those North Korean air farce MIG-21s (first built in the 1950’s) could have been easily blown out of the sky by South Korean SHORAD batteries within a minute or two of take off.
Well pilgrims, a day without blood is like a day without sunshine.
Gives the coneheads something to do…

#4,
Not only that, those old airplanes will be in the hangar for weeks of maintenance (and they’ll probably end up cannibalizing some of their other planes for replacement parts…which is why they didn’t send their newer Mig-29s…don’t have enough to cannibalize and can’t afford to import replacement parts).
I’m not sure if Robert or anyone else has seen this series and mentioned it before, I apologize if they have. But, I just came across a very interesting series on North Korea made by the guys from VBS (Vice TV) @ http://www.vbs.tv/shows.php?search=north+korea
I’m not sure how on Earth they managed to shoot these videos with so much freedom but it’s an eye-opener nevertheless.
Yup El Canguro, Shane’s trip to Pyongyang was posted earlier this month and it is a good series. On a side note I hope that the marmot is really not going to stop blogging. This site is soo informative and well put together. Everyday I come here to get my fix.
Damnit! I got foiled. Forgot that in Korea it is already April 1st and not march 31st like here in the states. Nice joke, I got fooled by ROk drop.
