Itaewon

9-Feb-2014 • Seoul Korea, South

Itaewon is the place where American bases are located in Korea. It is thus to be expected to see lots and lots of Americans here.

In Itaewon

This monument shows two young Korean men, one from the south and another one from the north. This memorial laments the fact that these two young men are both from the Korean peninsula yet have had to fight each other in war. The locals liken it to a brother killing a brother

This huge building housed many galleries with stone markers and plaques listing the names of the men from many different countries who saw action in the last Korean War and perished.
