Hey Loves,
I enjoy museums but it's not quite as enjoyable when the details aren't in English. Most of the things in the museum had a brief English description but it was obvious that if I knew Korean then I would get more information. I still enjoyed the history and seeing the artifacts that are so much older than the USA. I know that if the Native American's history had been better preserved and documented we might have more history but we all know that tragic story.
The cool things about Korean history is that it is so well documented and known. We saw the history going back to the AD hundreds. I just think that is so amazing :-) I know that there are other places that go back even further but I am currently here and not there so I am just taking in what I can while I can... What's weird is the controversy/confusion about the Korean War that is more recent than any other battle. N. Korea says that USA started it; S. Korea says that N. Korea started it (???).
I thought that this was pretty.
In case you wanted to see what "drum" looks like in Korean.
It seems that all war museums have this type of stuff outside of them.
Yea this kind of thing too.
These apparently have the names of all the people that died throughout Korean war history. There are like a hundred of these things filled with names...
Here is a zoomed in image of the huge tablet above.
This is chain armor that was worn under clothing.
A model war ship...
Another model war ship.
These were old time ID badges, now they have cards.
Love ya lots,
Camille
