Today we made a little trip to the heart of Korea in Chungcheongnam Province to see the Independence Hall of Korea which exhibits historic artifacts and materials related to the Korean resistance to aggression and the fight for independence against the Japanese rule.
This place is huge, there are 815 Korean flags flying just by the entrance of the museum and it is surrounded by hills and mountains. It was a refreshing experience after spending a few days in smoggy Seoul.
Later on we took a train and came back to Seoul and now staying at Young’s sister’s. Days are going really quick, can’t believe I’ve already been here for a week and there is still so much to do. I have booked myself in for the JSA tour (that is probably going to be the most interesting out of all, going to the border of North and South Korea – the atmosphere there must be extremely tense….. and that is on my last day, just in time for me to rush back to Seoul and catch a bus to Incheon….), visiting Seoul Tower and probably going to a big amusement park called Everland.
Today is Saturday – 2.22pm, just had a shower and soon we are going out to meet Young’s girlfriend in a big shopping mall, COEX, and going to watch ‘300’ – I have heard it is a brilliant movie – will let you know what I thought of it! xxx
