Fallen Laureate Photo: This photo is a bit dated but still worth posting. On August 18, Kim Dae Jung (김대중), a former Korean president and 2000 Nobel Peace Prize winner passed away. Memorials were held in quite a few places around Seoul but the one at city hall dwarfed all others in comparison. Waiting times were often as long as three hours as each group of well-wishers got a chance to pay their respects, a minute per group.

The Night Admiral Photo: Same place as yesterday but much later. I embed all my photos with original EXIF information so were you curious what time this photo was taken, take a look (Firefox add-on Exif Viewer recommended). Except for this country, I forgot to adjust to local time. The camera's still on India time so add 3.5 hours which puts this picture around the 10pm area.
