Had another quick trip to Seoul.
Not a lot of time for photos,
but grabbed a couple walking around at night.

Shot through a rainy windshield, only the one man's face is clear.

Protests and memorials over the sinking of the ferry Sewol continue.

...and with any protest in Seoul, comes a dedicated, well organized "No-Nonsense Patrol". On this evening, there were more cops than I had ever seen, even when President Obama was visiting just up the block. The Seoul Police show up in buses, on this occasion, I would guess maybe 60 buses, plus the cars and paddy wagons...LOTS of cops. We felt VERY safe !!

There was a new, very eerie element of the Sewol protest, these photos were texted by the kids as the ferry sank. You see them smiling in some, leaning up against hallway walls, as the ship lists heavily. They are not understanding the danger yet...they were not properly informed by the crew.

I ducked over to Insa-dong (Art Street) a trendy tourist area.
Wasn't very busy for a Friday evening, maybe the rain kept the folks away.

Y'all take care,
