During my trip home we took my nephew to Marineland Niagara Falls to see the dolphins. I had also bought a new camera so I wanted to test a lot of the features. I bought a Panasonic Lumix Made in Japan with a Leica German Made lens. It has 20x magnification, 5.1 surround sound movie recording, 10 frames per second sports feature, 3D photo option and GPS tagging.

I didnt want to pay to enter so used my Daegu City Media Pass to gain access. At first they weren't sure ...

Having checked in and with some time to spare I wanted to check out the airport basement level. I kept hearing there was a jimjilbang (sleeping room) so wanted to find that (see next entry). The basement level turned out to be quite interesing and worth a look if you have time to spare. I'd already seen the airport train and skating rink on a previous visit but was surprised to find a movie theatre there as well. I guess you need a long layover to watch a movie h...
