Nationalism and Democracy in Seoul
Throughout history, Korea faced threats from her neighbours. Dongdaemun (Great East Gate) Park commemorates the national heroes. The prison in the park is a stark reminder of atrocities and memories of independence fighters. Even today, in the heart of Seoul, I witnessed a bold Korean expression of protest just beginning to get its shape before the arrival of riot Police in bus loads. Democracy is alive in this city!
