University students mozy in and out of the Ewha Campus Complex (ECC), or as I'd like to call it, "the divot". See yesterday's Underground Lair post for more photos of the divot.

In a country where the college application process is already selective, Ewha Womans University (이í™"ì--¬ìžëŒ€í•™êµ) is one of the most selective universities in Korea. Those that get accepted into Ewha are some of the top students in the nation.

Faux infrared yesterday and today, faux tilt-shift effect to make the campus resemble a model train set, hence the double entendre, "model students."

You wouldn't believe the amount of effort, not to mention the possible violations of local ordinances, it took to finally get myself in position to get this photo. I climbed stairs to the tops of four buildings hoping for roof-top access. All but one didn't require bolt cutters but instead required enough shameless confidence to walk past residents and pretend that I belong.
