Video - The Battle of Gapyong

A fierce battle of the Korean War that you probably never heard of... but should.

The Battle of Gapyong. It feels odd to know that I went bungy jumping over the same river. I feel somewhat ashamed to have enjoyed myself knowing now, what happened there. I might not have jumped if I knew then, what I know now.

Korean War Museum Redux

I found myself in downtown Seoul recently with time on my hands. I had been to the Korean War Museum a few months ago but it was part of a cultural exchange program and that tour only last about an hour an half, no nearly enough time to see the entire museum, it's quite expansive. A return visit to the museum was a no brainer and on this occasion, we took our time.

There's a fantastic documentary about the Korean War available on You Tube. I highly recommend it if you want to familiarize yourself with the details and timeline of the war.



Enjoy my photos of the museum!

Never Forget - The Forgotten War. 60th Anniversary of the Armistice Korean War

60 years ago today the armistice was signed and both sides agreed to a cease fire. I hope a peace treaty can finally be signed and the war can officially end. Here is a photo tribute to commemorate the anniversary. North Korea celebrates it as their "Victory Day". Hasn't anyone pointed out to them that the border is exactly where it was when the war started?
