We went to Gwanju from Oct.11 to Oct.14.
It was really amasing experience for us because we were able to feel history and art and have delicious food during 4 days.
Especially, I was impressed about "the history."
The history is 5.18 Democracy in Gwangju !!
I found that Gwangju holds the unforgettable history and the memory of it when we went to the 5.18 memorial park.
This is the Gate for people! This standed solemnly.
We saw the "Gate for people" and got into the park then, we saw a big tower stanging in the middle of the park.
Memorial Tower!!
In front of this tower, we offered a silent prayer for the dead.
I'm really sorry that I don't have enough pictures in here.
After the time, We went to the museum of the 5.18 democracy.There are some articles, vidios,relics, and the things that tell us the real episode of the activities.
It has passed more than 30 years since the 5.18 democracy happened.
Gwangji has a duty to tell new generations about this history.
I have known about this history however, it was just a knowledge written in paper or book. I really comfirmed a Korean historial back ground by visiting there. We need to enjoy tour but also we need to get some thing from a place where we visited. I recommend the 5.18 memorial park as the place to visit !!!!
