I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

1. EMBKOR_110514_119.JPG: This kid was riveted by the cartoons on TV
2. EMBKOR_110514_167.JPG: Jeju Dolhareubang: While wooden carved statues called Jang-seung traditionally stood on the Korean mainland, stone carved statues called Dolhareubang stood on the volcanic island of Jeju. Historically, Dolhareubang were erected at the entrances of the areas most characteristic of Jeju Island: Jeju-seong, Jeongeui-hyun-seong, and Daejeong-hyun-seong. They weremeant [sic] to protect these public spaces and the surrounding villages like a guardian deity. The Dolhareubang ward off danger and harm, while exhibiting the humorous and smiling appearance of a friendly, neighborhood grandfather.

Wikipedia Description: Embassy of South Korea, Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Washington, D.C. is the diplomatic mission of South Korea to the United States. Its main chancery is located at 2450 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Embassy Row neighborhood. The current ambassador is Lee Soo-hyuck.

Due to the rather small size of its main chancery building, the embassy has an annex nearby in Arlington County, Virginia. It also occupies two additional buildings close to its main chancery building to house its Consular Section and a Korean Cultural Center. The ambassador's residence is located in the nearby Spring Valley neighborhood, close to American University.

The embassy operates consulates general in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Seattle. In addition to those consulates general, the embassy also maintains a consulate agency in Guam as well as two consular offices in Anchorage and Dallas.

A statue of Dr. Philip Jaisohn, an independence activist and journalist, was dedicated in 2008 in front of the Consular Section building at 2320 Massachusetts Ave. N.W.

The consulate includes the Korean Education Center.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
