yep, it has taken me only two months to post up pictures of my first 8 days in korea in APRIL. i have another 8 more days to post and i am hoping that i won't need another two months to do so. so much so much to share, bali, bangkok, slices of life, i need to find some way to break the space-time-blog continuum!

the ladies of jalgalchi fish market

it didn't occur to me as i was preparing this post that at jalgalchi fish market in busan, the ladies outnumbered the gentlement about 9-1. no kidding. they were everywhere, as shopkeepers, as shoppers and as diners. this thought kept running through my head as well, "wouldn't they have looked marvellous in black & white?" could i be catching the monochrome bug?

raw fish is yummy.

we popped into one of the little restaurants that line the street of the outdoor market. we had no idea which one to go into so we just looked for the kindest looking shopkeepers. we ordered the seasonal menu for two, although there were really three of us. the food that came were more than enough for all of us. so much yummy seafood, some simply boiled, some grilled and some served raw. that humongous plate of raw fish was the star of the show of course. there were about four variety of fishes and we couldn't stop eating. there was also this wonderful clam soup, hot, peppery, heartwarming.

oh fisheye, you so fly

i swear i really wasn't planning on buying another camera so soon after the instax mini. i had earlier earmarked the fisheye for a possible purchase next year but suddenly lomography started giving out piggy points, and then a 10% discount, and then more piggy points. in a flash, i managed to gather enough piggies and discounts to minus off 40 usd from the total amount. it was too good to be true and before i knew it, i had clicked pay and a fisheye 2 was hurtling from hong kong towards me! i completed my order on monday and the fisheye 2 was sitting happily on my desk on wednesday. two pats on lomography's back for the incredibly quick shipping!



i snapped my unboxing process.

as part of lomography's retail therapy promo, they also threw in a klick max 200 (expired) film for every order. Overall, pretty sweet deal. Here's hoping that there will be a sunny day this week for me to run a quick test roll through it!

oh and tonight, i discovered two wonderful blogs, here comes the sun and andrew+carissa. they give me hope.
