After looking at ///Mik3's great post with pictures of modern day Korea, I decided to scan some of my old B&W photos that I took back when I was stationed there between 1972-1980.

The first few photos were taken at the Korean Folk Village at Suwon.

This lady was selling "yeot", a traditional chewy Korean candy.





This man was making birdcages.



A traditional Korean kitchen.



The next few pictures were taken at Sorak-san, a mountain range in the northeast part of South Korea.







The next few pictures were taken in Seoul at a palace garden with infrared film.





The last picture was taken in the countryside outside Osan AB using infrared film. Note that the farmhouse has a thatched roof. I doubt that there aren't any farmhouses like this left these days outside of historical recreated villages.

Nice pics. Looks like the Korea I knew. I was there in '77-78 and again in '79-80. I swear I've been in that kitchen.
