By now, we all know that Facebook has bought over Instagram for $1 billion and all that jazz. I have been playing with Instagram long before that but stopped until recently just before the news broke, I got back to using Instagram again. Then Instagram also became available with the Android version, so I have even more new followers.
In addition to the daily random shots (which are usually of food, food and more food!), during intervals, I have started to share photos of my many overseas trips to different countries. Instagram has given my old photos a new lease of life with different filters and hence different feel and look (although I still do not really fancy the square frame). It helps me re-live my memories of the places I have set foot in.
If I am not lazy gamed enough, I will share in this blog those I have shared in Instagram. You can find me in Instagram under STUMPBO (I need to approve you though...).
Here are some photos from my South Korea trip, instagram-ed. Annyeong!!

I have instagram account but forgot my login name... Lol. I was hoping to use it but didn't make time to learn how to use it then forgot! I enjoyed your trip pictures from Korea. My mom is visiting there right now. Wish I could be there with her to see beautiful places and culture.
