Today was such a fabulous day, especially compared to the weather we had yesterday. The temperature made it up into the upper sixties (or possibly even lower seventies), the sky was a brilliant blue and a light breeze was blowing. It was warm enough to go out without even a light jacket, and I was able to open up all the windows in my apartment and finally air the place out. I needed to go to E-Mart to restock my catfood and kitty litter, and I decided to walk there and back, as the day was so beautiful. On the way there, I got some great shots of early spring blossoms.
E-Mart customers are not allowed to bring backpacks or other large bags inside the store. Lockers are provided for customers to keep their various things in while they shop. On my way out of the store, as I stopped to reclaim my backpack from one such locker, I heard a loud and frantic peeping. I looked around and found, inside a nearby locker among various other items, a little baby chick. Poor thing.
In this picture you can see, in addition to the chick, my reflection
and the reflection of the E-Mart man who then asked me to stop photographing.
Okay, so if you've read the comments on my scooter post,
you'll note that I determined that this was a Honda Scoopy,
which is supposedly not sold in the United States.
Yet why does this have a Michigan plate??
I decided to walk back to the old Banyawol train station, which I first visited back in November, for the purpose of taking more photographs. Even though the gate leading to the platform was locked, I decided to find a way onto the tracks further down from the station. From there I walked back up to the station in order to get pictures from the track-side.

There were a few rusty old chairs out by the tracks...

Aww, poor chicky!
The scooter could have been bought abroad and shipped back to the US..
I'm back in Seoul for a week, and spring sure hasn't hit here yet. No blossoms to look at.
that scooter is badged as the metropolitan in the US (or Metro II depending on the model)... mystery solved! it is sold in the US, i went to the local scooter dealer to look at it, the vino by yamaha, and other vespa rip-offs.
