Korea 2006

Was in Korea for work in 2006. My impression of Korea? Very high tech, clean, has interesting flora and delicious cuisine... My all-time favourite soup is the Samgyetang (chicken ginseng soup). It cured me of my headache when I first arrived in Korea.

Some of the places of interests I visited:












The Gyeonbok Palace - dates from the 14th century...




The Han River. There are over 20 bridges at the lower Han River. Amazing!

Tour of ANU 2

Here's a sample of the rich flora and fauna found in campus...


The Banksia...

I'm not sure what plant is this but look at the berries!

The pink and grey gallah. In Australia, if someone is referred to as a gallah, it means that the person is not too bright. Poor thing...


My favourite crimson rosella. Isn't it pretty?

Tour of ANU 1

It's a world of difference between working life and uni life! I'm lucky to have an opportunity to study at a lovely campus. It's a place I'll always miss - the flora and fauna, the classrooms, the people and the cafes...


One of the paths I used to take to go for classes ...

On the way to the Union Court...

Garden near Faculty of Asian Studies

Can you spot the Telstra Tower?

Canberra

Here's just a small sample of my fav food in Canberra!

Feast your eyes on these yummy comfort food!

Oily, sinful, kou rou (stew pork belly), honey beef and toufu claypot!!

Who can resist the rich, fragrant, laksa broth!!

Cheesecake, anyone?

Wollongong

I was at Wollongong in 2006. According to Wikipedia, Wollongong is believed to mean "sound of the sea" or "great feast of fish". I feel blessed to be able to enjoy the sea view and morning breeze, while having yummy flat white and warm banana bread with salted butter!









The North Beach beckons...



The beachside cafe (I think it's called North Kiosk) where I spent my few precious mornings writing postcards.

Sully's Creek

One year in ANU brought me happy memories of friendship, learning and peace of mind.



Sullivan's creek has undergone some 'facelift' since I left uni in 2003. Gosh! Time flies... Pictures taken during Winter 2006.
