Fotophest! Busan Pixelated

Well, the Earth has completed yet another cosmic twirl around our bright star. And while that sentence is just about cheesy enough to make Mickey Mouse himself puke with horror, all this talk of the end of the world and, more realistically, the end of 2012 has gotten me all sentimental.

Here then are a set of badly organised, badly exposed, badly explained, badly photographed photographs of the city of Busan; my on again, off again home since 2009.
