Not sure if I've put up a picture of Seogwipo's new-ish bridge. It looks just like the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, and it leads to Saeseom, or 'Bird Island'. If there ever were birds there, there are none now, thanks to the maze of walking trails carved though what must have been prime habitat for migrating birds. Dozens of tour buses crap out hundreds of clucking mainland tourists every hour onto this island. My old band used to have a song called 'Truckloads of dead tourists', and the chorus went like this "Make meeeeeeeeee.....HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPY!" Oh, don't worry, it was only teenage musical ebullience.
