A Little Moore Perspective AFTER Korea

2 new albums have been added to the photo gallery. The first is a “virtual tour” of our apartment where you can see a sort of walk through our place. The second is a panoramic album, which are many photos that have been stitched together to make a single large photo of an area. Many of them are from places seen in the other albums.

I’ve also created a new Map page you can access on the right. If you are interested in knowing just where we are in Korea, as well as see the location of many things we write about, check it out. There are currently three maps on the page. The first shows a satellite image of the city of Chuncheon. The second shows the places we have been in Korea. The first two maps are fully interactive, so you can pan and zoom anywhere you like. The last map, which is just a picture, gives you a view of how the province we live in (Gangwon) sits in relation to the rest of the country. Enjoy!

I added a new album to the photo gallery of our visit to the Seoraksan National Park that we took during orientation. The park and mountains are simply amazing, and as I said to Sarah, one of the closest things to “breathtaking” I’ve ever seen. The mountains are so tall and so close together, covered in beautiful pine forests with smooth rocks and crisp, clean rivers running through it. The trails are well worn and enhanced by bridges crossing the river in many places. Something of note is that you do not find trash anywhere in the park. The Korean people are very conscience of littering and most of them go out of their way to clean up if they do find something laying around.  This is definitely a place we would like to come back to visit again.

On another note, I also added a couple of links to our location in Chuncheon on Google Earth. They are located in the links section to the right. If you open these, it will zoom right into our apartment complex, as well as the school Sarah teaches in. Keep an eye out for more locations to come as we talk about them in our posts! Google Earth is a free satellite imaging program you can download at http://earth.google.com

I’ve added a photo gallery page and a few photos of our trip to the site. Click “Photo Gallery” on the right to view them!
