It takes couple of hours just to see and examine everything at the outdoor exhibition. At first I just saw some monuments. I start to circling the building and found many things. There were vehicles, tanks, field artillery, air craft, armored car, guns from warships, submarines, radar etc. Which were used in World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War, are displayed.
Luckily I brought water with me, besides it was a huge area, it's really hot outside. I keep standing under the tree shades. Many family was coming here. Their kids running around amongst the vehicles. I saw many foreigner too. And of course many couples date here~~
It was my first time saw those huge tanks, warships, etc. It's amazed me. I take some picture and video too^^
That was some experience at the outdoor exhibiton The War Memorial of Korea. See you next time~ Have a nice weekend^^

Originally it was called tteok jjim (떡찜), and was a braised dish of sliced rice cake, meat, eggs and seasoning. History Tteokbokki is a traditional Korean street food which can be usually purchased from street vendors also called 'pojangmacha' in Korean. The history of tteokbokki brings us back to the late Joseon dynasty. There are many hypotheses and controversy about its real origin.

Changdeokgung Palace - 창덕궁

Introduction Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeokbukgung Palace in 1405. It was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings and is the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal Joseon palace. The palace grounds are comprised of a public palace area, a royal family residence building, and the rear garden. Known as a place of rest for the kings, the rear garden boasts a gigantic tree that is over 300 years old, a small pond, and a pavilion. The palace gained in importance starting from the time of 9th king of Joseon, Seongjong, when a number of kings began using it as a place of residence. Unfortunately, the palace was burned down by angry citizens in 1592 when the royal family fled their abode during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Thanks to Gwanghaegun, the palace was restored in 1611. Even today, it holds a number of cultural treasures such as Injeongjeon Hall, Daejojeon Hall, Seonjeongjeon Hall, and Nakseonjae. Ch...
