Wow, very cool! Thanks for the link. It actually looks...more developed/nicer than I expected it to? I'd be interested to see what Busan looked like back then, as I'm not super familiar with Seoul.

if you can see pictures of the 'dream road' over looking Haeundae - it was a golf course I think not too long ago (maybe in the 80s)- before that just fields.
Its come along way from mud huts and wooden bridges korea of the 30's...

I stumbled across this lady's Flickr account about a year ago where she had a ton of color photos of Korea from 1966:

I especially liked this one, of the old Seoul Station There's nothing around it:

when i see pictures like this, i wonder if this is what N.korea looks like - it would be a great place to travel

It's been all downhill for Haeundae for the last hundred years:

Every time I see pictures of Korean children from 40+ years ago I think, okay, so these are the guys who are glaring at me on the subway all the time. These are the people who never seem to stop glaring at everyone, who rush in for seats on the subway just so they can sit down and have a good glare at the nearest outlier or the nearest empty point in space--here they are as virtually the same excited happy kids I see five days a week at work.

Interesting pictures

Interesting to see American flags flying in Seoul and how they parked forwards unlike today where they spend minutes in E-mart trying to park backwards.
