blmapping sucks

I want to try to put maps on this log. The big problem is that Google Maps, for some unknown reason, does not have any map detail for Korea. What the hell is up with that? It seems that Microsoft's Virtual Earth does offer some Korean detail. The problem is that it seems that none of the mapping APIs have a good way of placing interactive maps in a post. I can do it w/ a ton of manual coding. I guess if I had more time I could write something to handle this, but time is something I don't have.

I guess I'll have to limit my maps to static ones for now. Here's a high-level view of South Korea. I'll be spending my time in the greater Busan area. The actual wedding will be in Busan, but I think we'll be based in Changwon for the bulk of the trip. From what I understand, Changwon isn't terribly exciting from a tourist standpoint. To paraphrase Lonely Planet: Korea, Changwon exists to serve as a bureaucratic and industrial center; there is nothing of interest for tourists. Normally, I take these warnings with little note, but when Lonely Planet says there is nothing interesting, I am a bit concerned.
