Some Pictures from the Weekend

This weekend Sam and I re-visited some of the sites in Seoul that we have been to before. We went to a prison where the Japanese held many Korean freedom-fighters during their occupation in the earlier half of the 20th century. After we had toured around and left the facilities, an older Korean man walked up to us, told us a bit about the prison, and then thanked us for taking the time to visit such an important site. He was really happy that we wanted to learn about what had happened to the Korean people. I was pretty touched by that. We also hit up a palace in Seoul to check out the grounds with their newly acquired blossoms and greenery...very pretty! Here are a few pictures of things we saw...


Just in case some of you have forgotten where exactly we are, let this extremely over-sized flag serve as a friendly reminder...we're in Korea.
Here I am in one of the holding cells in Seodaemun Prison.
Sam and David, through the cell door.

Sam took this cool artistic shot. This building is also on the palace grounds. As you can see, everything is green and flowering and beautiful!
