Those are great pictures and made me remember the Korea that I loved.
I arrived in Korea for the first time in June 1972 after completing Korean language school at Monterey, CA and tech school in TX. I spent over ten years there and went back frequently for TDYs until I retired in 1991. I took quite a few vacations there until about ten years ago.
Korea has modernized considerably since I've been back, especially the bullet trains. The alley restaurant (Hong Kong restaurant - picture 10) looks the same as the restaurants that I remember back then.
I've been over practically all of Korea except for Cheju Island. My favorite places were Sorak-san and Gyeongju. When travelling, I tried to avoid the places where the foreigners or GIs would go and tried to "go local" and stay at yogwans or cheap hotels.
I love Korean food, especially the spicy pork BBQ cooked over charcoal. I used to eat that as often as i could when I went TDY there.
I hope to go back one of these days.
