Another photograph installment- Seoul in July.

Remember these?


Just a street, but notice the barbershop poles on the right. These poles are all over the city, but not because Koreans get their haircut often-- they are, in fact, "massage parlours."


Selling ginseng in the market. While these booths are quite common and the ginseng cheap, our tour bus returning us from the demilitarized zone bordering North Korea (the government requires that everyone go by tour bus to the DMZ so they can check identification and issue badges) took us directly to a government-sponsored ginseng "factory." It was a hard-sell for overpriced ginseng, yet the entire bus left without buying a thing.
