Traditional Korean Song

Just before start the trip to Busa, Ulsan and company, I record a video where you can see and listen the traditional song on South Korea.


Press the picture to see the video


It's true that this music it's little bit strident, but if you compare with the "Techno" music to nowadays... don't have differences!

Korean Food

Hello readers! After more than a week traveling in South Korea, I go back to Seoul again.

I went with Suny and family to the south of south Korea (Masan, Ulsan, Busan, Chinhea, Chinwon...)

I make hundreds of pictures, but I couldn't transfer to my computer.

By the way, I attach in this post a traditional food: Raw octopus!!



I'll try to make this is Barcelona, but I think it'll difficult to find a alive octopus.
Anyway... Enjoy your meal!!

ASAP I'll show you the pictures

Trip around South Korea

Tomorrow morning I'll start my trip around South Korea (and maybe Japan) with Suny and some days with her mother and sisters.

I'm very happy to make this trip, it's a excellent opportunity to discover new places but also because Suny can make this adventure!

So starting tomorrow and finishing maybe in 9-10 days I'll leave the blog little bit out of date.

The first stop is... I don't remember the name ¬¬ but I know that we'll visit the old sister of Suny and her future husband (very good guy!!) After we'll visit Jeju, Pusan and more cities.

Meanwhile I show you one of the last picture that I took (today was a "Flower" festival)



See you soon readers!! Bye!!

The heaven of the photography

Photography is a expensive hobby, and if you like, Korea is the heaven.

I check several shops and web sites and all about photography (lens, memory cards, batteries...) is so so cheap. I mean cheap when you have -50% less of the same product price!! Amazing!

Two weeks ago I bought a new lens: wiki Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6
(the picture on the left I made it with this lent, you can see the best resolution on my Flickr account)

Now I'm looking for a wiki Canon Extender 2x II or/and a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 APO, EX, DG, Macro, HSM (I would like the Canon 70-200mm but... my budget is restricted)

The price in Barcelona of the Sigma 70-200mm is around 750€ but here in Korea is 720.000W (427€ nowadays) eek Interesting, isn't it?

Right now I've this ones: Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6; Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5; Tamron 70-300mm 4-5.6 (this one I'll sell because I don't like it)

So my question for my readers is... do you recommend me this lens that I'm on mind? Thank you!
