| I hadn't realized how dominating that Japanese built govt building was (the one that used to be in front of the palace). |

| I have two great books of old photos of Korea here at the store if anyone wants to look through them. They are not for sale though. |

Isn't that the one they knocked down and left as a pile of rubble for several decades? |

 No. It was right where you see it there, home to the National Museum until the day before yesterday.
Reduce the photo to 75%, please.
NOW! |

Hey SJ, thanks for posting that. Awesome photo.
What's the flickr link? does he have other pics of Seoul?
Chiaa, any chance you could scan some of those photos and post 'em? |

I'm thinking of the building that sat in front of Kyungbukk palace, I think that's what's in the upper left of the picture? It was the National Museum after the occupation ended? All I know for sure is that the palace re-opened minus the building in 96. |

hey there- thought you would like it.
He's got a bunch of photos here but no more of the old/new stuff. Frustrating because the comment on that photo is "a compilation i did for the mag" which suggests he might have done others.
Ah well. |
