The War Memorial of Korea and Namsan

I visited the War Memorial of Korea with flora and rx on a weekend out. The place is really meaningful as it displays the various records of the war and soldiers. The remains of the soldiers who devoted their lives for their country were also collected, preserved, studied and exhibited there. Among the exhibits, I liked the ones on the Korean War as the displays, simulations and explanations were comprehensive and real. I felt as if I went for a live history lesson.

And during one of the weekend nights out, we visited Namsan and took a cable car up. Namsan cable car tower is the filming site for scenes from My Name is Kim Samsoon. As there were yellowsand storms during the period, we had to wear face masks to prevent from inhaling too much yellowsand. The night scene was really blurry as the yellowsand was quite thick that day. So we decided we should revisit Namsan again in the day to take more pictures.
