Wednesday Rehearsal of Old Wounds








Again and again Seoul convinces me that as a modern city, it has become the ideal place for free expression. Of course, a bus load of police is guarding the protesters but perhaps it is for protesters' safety.

Today is Wednesday and I did not forget to visit the site of Japanese embassy in Seoul. We have less than seven days to stay in Seoul and witness the rich heritage.

My Wednesday witness was a rehearsal of old wounds in public as protests. It was the issue of comfort women. Protesters on one side and police surrounded the crowd on all sides. It was an impressive performance.
