Day9 in Seoul!
We went to 仁川 Incheon and walked through the places where the "Japan town" and "China town" exists side to side, separated by one street.
That was quite a neat experience, but what was more shocking was when we visited 'the Memorial hall for the Incheon landing operation'.
The realistic exhibitions strongly appealed to me to think about war and peace, so hard that I felt somewhat really sad and scared. Looking at the bay from the hill where the museum stands, I truly thought that I never want the world war to happen again.
But just hoping isn't enough. I need to study and act.
Also, if you look at one of the pics that i’m with the young soldiers(assuming that they are the ones that are serving for the compulsory military service who were akso taking a tour here),
I'm smiling but was actually confused if we were okay to take pics with these men. But the Korean guide were more enthusiastic than us and ran to stop them and ask them to take pics with us haha And these men themselves looked quite free and excited (which was pretty surprising).
What I realized is that they're nothing different but just like us. Young boys, who are living the most happiest part of their lives, but spending 2 years of it for military service, just because they live in a different society was really shocking to me.
I don't know what to say.
