Personal Log: Adrian Rodd

Well, not quite. But here a few pictures of my trips. There are a few more in my photo albums on Facebook.

Viñales, 2005: a snapshot of rural Cuba

Me in Viñales. The reason for the grey clouds and rain is because Hurricane Katrina was busy smashing into New Orleans, not all that far away. We caught the very edge of the hurricane.

Suva, Fiji, 2003. The guard in front of the presidential palace. I also saw the changing of the guard. I've now seen changing of the guard in four countries: the UK, Fiji, Sweden, and South Korea. The latter was a historical ceremonial re-enactment, since the monarchy was abolished by Japanese invaders almost a hundred years ago.

Seoul, 2007. The view from Namsan.

The street where I was staying in Seoul. You can see my hotel (Hotel Lees) on the left.

The main Buddhist temple in Seoul. Inside the temple, you can just catch a vague glimpse of the three giant golden statues of Buddha.

Seoul: gardens on former imperial palace grounds.

Rome, 2007: the Forum.

Me on Plaza de la Revolucion, Havana, 2005. That place behind me is where Fidel Castro used to make long speeches to huge crowds.
