S. Korean Teaching Experience

Wednesday, February 15, 2006

A couple of weekends ago, Lin-lin and I decided to take the City tour. It was really fun and very inexpensive. We saw part of the Korean War Memorial-- the name list was a bit heart wrenching.

Lin-lin and I in the Seoul Tower.














Me being silly before the tour.















I'm still not sure what this stone mound is for. But I was told it had something to do with ancestors. It is at the bottom of the Seoul Tower.
















I think you folks back home will have a hard time understanding what I mean by cookie cutter apts. So here are a few more photos of the apts. This is in downtown Seoul.

This is Lin-lin at the Korean War Memorial.






























This a statue of two brothers--one fought for the South and the other fought for the North in the Korean war-- who found each other on the battle field.














This is like the Vietnam War Memorial, a list of names. I was very shaken to see all the names of soldiers who have lost theier lives defending South Korea.
