aaaahhhh! (aka about flickr)

i went to flickr and typed in 'korea' and looked at the pictures. then i narrowed my search to 'busan, korea' and looked at those pictures. it drove me crazy cuz i want to go back to korea so stinkin' bad!!!! it was weird how some pictures looked familiar. i though, have i seen that before? and then of course i had to wonder if i was just making it up cuz i wanted to have seen it before. i'm sure i had seen some of those places before; i just couldn't remember what they were called. korean is such a complicated language to hear and then connect with the written word. i mean, they say something and you see it on paper and you're like, 'huh?!' but anyway, that was cool. you could see pictures of korea through the lenses of people all over the world. and it seemed to me that you could tell which lense you were seeing through. the americans/europeans see korea differently than koreans and other asians. but anyway, i guess that's all for now.

being a northwest native, the web has been a way to get a glimpse of places i've never been; i've never thought about how it can also connect us with places that used to be home. it's interesting that you can tell which lens you are looking through -- i've heard that from other people as well.
