Joining You - in Seoul Museum of History

↑ Damn, this is funny :)

So this is the Seoul Museum of History, but not so much of any history(after all the ticket costs 700won). The most recent exhibition "1950...Seoul...Rise from the Ashes", featuring a collection of propaganda leaflets, pictures, objects, and printed matters from the years of the Korean War, which took place during 1950 to 1953. A number of exhibits were reminiscent of my personal experience, such as the Communist propaganda leaflets, the relief supplies from the US(of which, the flour sacks were re-used as fabrics for kids' clothes), the suffering of people, and the division of 2 nations. By the way, as usual, there's no English guide available.

這天去了首爾歷史博物館，一個沒什麼歷史痕跡的地方(不過門票也700won而已，一分錢一分貨)。最近為紀念韓戰60周年而辦了特展---"1950...漢城...由廢墟中崛起"(並不是因為我是漢城支持者，而是在那年代這城市還是被廣為稱做漢城嘛)---展品不多，有一些韓戰時期的民生用品、老照片、國內外印刷品、及北韓文宣等。這些東西讓我有似曾相似的感覺，例如共產黨文宣、美援麵粉袋、人民的苦難和兩國分立的結局。這個產覽也是只有韓文說明，沒有英文導覽(有才怪)。

Outside the museum there is a tram model set up in a scene in which a student is taking the tram to school and the mother and younger sister were waving goodbyes in a sensational setting which really moved me to tears so I couldn't help but join(right...as explained in the tourguide, the student was late for school and forgot his lunchbox and cap so the mother and sister were chasing after the tram)!

博物館外有一個電車模型，設計了一個快遲到的學生因忘了帶便當和帽子，媽媽和妹妹追著電車跑的場景。我也客串了一下，哈哈。
