i'm sure this brings back a few memories, if those of you whom i know have been here before (my grandmother, mostly) and have seen this place or the area around it, but it's not far from itaewon just a short walk north of the river, and a decent walk south of city hall/dongdaemun area... it was a great day for being outside, even if we didn't actually make it out till the afternoon.
caked in layers of paint fresh and peeling,hundreds of thousands names, painted bullet holes, red stars, nations flags, emblems of glory and destruction simultaneously mix with the sounds of children running and laughing with their parents combined with the uneasy feeling in my stomach as i looked at all the 'artifacts' of wars past, present and future. this is what the memorial brought to me. a feeling that hit much too close to home considering the circumstances we're all living in today. the tribulations every nation is facing as revolt is spreading like wildfire across nations and countries.
