Day 7 in Seoul 서울☺️
We ate 부대찌개 Budae Chigae for lunch! Budae 部隊 means Army and it is said that this pot is called as that because people used to make this meal with leftover Spams of the US army.
I feel a lot of an influence of the army in South Korea. That is one thing that I've noticed in the discussions with the Korean students.
We went to the 昌徳宮 Changdeokgung and saw the beautiful Korean decoration on the palace.
We also went to the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History, and learned how contemorary history are told in South Korea.
We didn't have any group discussions, but we were able to eat dinner with Korean students in Seoul! Exchanging thoughts in Korean, Japanese and English is a pretty exciting experience!(Although I can barely speak Korean)
I know the time we spent together was just an hour or so, but it's always sad to say good bye:(
All the Korean students try to answer my questions (often regarding delicate political/ historical ones) with sincerity without any too emotional opinions nor resistance. That is another thing that I've learned in this trip, what I want to respect and what I want to share with Japanese people.
