On the last day (I think) we went to the Seoul War Memorial. It was Mark's idea and I wasn't too crazy about it at first, as I'm generally against all wars (except for the War on Seal Herpes. That's a cause I can get behind). However, I was pleasantly surprised for a few reasons...one, the actual memorial was gorgeous. It's a massive park with a beautiful building in the middle, it's free to enter and there is very little in the way of propaganda. It's a true memorial, and an elaborate one at that. The other thing that impressed me was the number of tanks, massive missiles, planes, boats, etc there. All beautifully restored and a lot of them open to the public. It was pretty cool being inside an armoured amphibious personnel carrier or a cargo plane. All in all, I'd suggest checking it out if you're in Seoul.
A few pics...let me know which one you like better...I generally hate overprocessed pictures, but I kind of like this one...so B&W or overpricessed? (Wall of names of the fallen with a carnation under).

One of my favourite planes... Beoing B-52...
In the cockpit (taken through the window of the plane...no processing done to the blur, it's all thanks to the worn window...I think it works well)...I desaturated the colour version a bit to give it an oldschool look...or B&W?
or:
Random awesome buildings in Seoul (converted to B&W for the hell of it)
One of the many palaces in Seoul:
Market in Seoul...random dude playing the sax amid empty dishes and a score of empty soju bottles...
I've posted this before, but I did a mild edit on it...brought down the highlights a bit and bumped the details in the shadows a tad...let me know what you think of it:
Okay...this is it for today...have a great day y'all!
