Day 5 in 木浦(Mokpo).
This day was kind of like an interval for us.😂
Mokpo is famous as a port town, and it is also remarkable for its remaining Japanese houses. While other cities like Busan had developed and destroyed/covered up the buildings left by the Japanese rule, Mokpo was behind the flow of development and that led this town to still preserve the old historical townscape.
旧東本願寺別院(Dongbonwonsa temple) is one of them. This temple was made in 1905 and used during the Japanese rule age, then turned into a church, and know exists as a cultural facility.
We also visited an orphanage called 木浦共生園(Mokpo Gong Saeng Won). Despite in the world of war(especially Anti-Japan), a Japanese woman 田内 千鶴子 and her Korean husband 尹 致浩 engaged in their work of taking care of orphans.
I felt a really strong power of universal love that even overcomes disputes and hate between nations.
We also explored in the Kim Dae Jung 金大中 peace prize memorial. I was moved by his faith of peace✌️.
For dinner we had Bibimbap with octopus!(낙지) Everything is delicious and I'm having a great time!
