Update: Thankfully my suspicion was ungrounded. Those in Korea enjoyed quite a long autumn in 2010.
Maples leaves have already turned red in Namsam in Seoul.
Golden gingko leaves are starting to fall in Gangwon-do.
Is it autumn or winter in Korea already?
Temperatures plunged to sub-zero levels this week.

Dear Anon.,
Thanks for the encouraging comment. I really hope I am mistaken and that autumn in Korea is not so short.
Please don't take my "status reports" as a done deal - I'm not even in the country! Just repeating and compiling what I see in the on-line papers for future reference.
Would appreciate it if you could be my eyes when you get to Korea and drop me a line in this blog as to whether you see the autumn leaves or not.
If I find any more news on the leaves, I'll post them here. All the best and have a great holiday!
Happy chasing autumn leaves!

No problem! Will keep you posted when I get back from korea. I just hope i still catch the colorful leaves and will not end up taking pictures with withered leaves. Hehe =) Best regards!
