Wesley's Tool-Box

AMD held its second ever AMD Mania Day at the New Millennium Hall in Sungkyunkwan University. Last year, it was held at Ewha Womans University. That one was a bit hectic and stuff didn't go along as smoothly as planned, so I was looking forward to a more polished one this year.

While looking back at the confluence region I visited with Google Earth, some disturbing things caught my eyes again.

Kanrai-ho, Rakuto-ho

Something was amiss, I thought... and then I realized these were what Japanese would call the areas.

The visit to the 11th South Korean degree confluence has now been officially registered at the Degree Confluence Project (confluence.org). You can go check it out from the right sidebar via 'Degree Confluence' or at the 35N 129E information page in DCP. There are some non-overlapping photos about the visit, so even if you've read my earlier post it's a good idea to pay a visit.

It has been more than three years since my last South Korean confluence visit. I had completed visiting all 10 of the ground confluences here, so I had considered the mission largely complete. But about a year later the country page would list 13 additional water confluences that were classified as 'in the view of the land' and thus added to the primary confluences. Since then there were two foreigner-led attempts to visit these water confluences (one near Mokpo and one near Incheon), all without success.

The commute, reversed. Darker backgrounds yield interesting results.
