48 pics in one post? Holy shit, glad I have a fast connection.

The night shots are awesome.

Pictures #2, 15 and 17 need explaining.
#4 makes me dizzy, but I love it.
#11 seems so lifelike, feels like I can hear their conversation.
The Heineken in #16 is professional quality, spellbinding.
The sparks in #21 look like pixie dust.
The bow on #28 is cool, but scary at the same time.
#30 and #45 seem to have ads for the same place in them, one in a cart, the other on the sidewalk.
#33 makes me wonder how many of these banner ads are there in Seoul?
Does the bike in #34 belong to the man in #35?
The guy in #46 would fit in over here in Montreal, we have lots of people handing out flyers nobody wants, too.

One final thought: Damn, you got a lot of cigarette butts on your sidewalks over there!

EvilGentleman,

#2 Badminton
#15 Drunk person crouching
#17 Lights behind pillows at a crappy bar.

Banners are EVERYWHERE. (These shots are in Gwang-ju, not Seoul...but yeah...Korea is Korea)

The bike in #34 does not belong to the man in #35

Korean men smoke. Smoking is still big here. I think that's part of why I like it so much. However, more and more places are deciding to become non-smoking which kinda sucks...but also makes me happy because its the business that decides, and not a stupid by-law that does not take into account people who want to smoke and businesses who want to let people smoke.

Thanks. Sorry I did not identify Gwang-ju as a different city, but you often title your posts after neighbourhoods, so I seldom even read the titles, since I never recognize anything. One day I will have to go visit Korea, so the names will finally mean something to me.
