"History is philosophy teaching by examples." ~ThucydidesI am in so much awe in how much historical architectures are left in South Korea. Most of them were destroyed during the Japanese colonization or during the war. Everything that identifies Korea are almost gone. Luckily there are some relics left. I can say I'm so glad that these relics are still there. I want to know about my cultural history, the uniqueness of it. These days , it does not seem that the younger generation do not appreciate these relics. Without these relics, what is there left of this country's history? History tells us all about our identity: where our roots come from.
Let's see where my wandering around Seoul takes me next...probably to another palace? Maybe.
