Day 241: Korean War Memorial Museum

Kieran’s symptoms reduced considerably besides a runny nose and his ankle felt manageable. We risked it for some fun outdoor activities at the Korean War Memorial Museum. The war commemorates the June 25 1950 invasion from North Korea supported by USSR and Communist China. 3.9 million Koreans lost their life in this war and it still isn’t over; there is only an armistice. This was the first and only war where the United Nations sent military troops to support a nation (not peace keeping troop). General Douglas MacArthur from World War II was the commander for the UN forces.

The museum includes outdoor exhibits on military equipment and vehicles used in the Korean War and Vietnam war after. Inside, the museum takes you through the general history of Korean Peninsula, years of Japanese occupation, the invasion, and North Korean threats/aggressions since 1953.

The museum is also free!!

After 2 hours Kieran got tired and felt sinus pressure in his ears so we turned in early and got him back into bed for more recovery.
