Yesterday we went to The War Memorial of Korea. I'm a big fan of war museums and love going to the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison but Korea's War Memorial was like the one in Madison times a thousand. Seriously. The three-level museum featured outside and inside interactive exhibits that were very moving and informative. I don't remember learning much, if anything about the Korean War in school and yesterday I left feeling like I learned a lot about the history of the war and how it affected both the ROK and North Korea.
For dinner Mary took me to the restaurant chain Mr. Pizza. Again, can we say WOW. We ordered the Potato Gold pizza complete with cheese, sour cream, mushrooms, potatoes, bacon, little chives and get this....SWEET POTATO CRUST! :-) :-) Genius. This meal came in a very close second to the Sundubu tchigae in Guyeongju.
Mary and I are currently in talks to open a Madison location :-)
Ok J, after looking at the picture, I will have to trust you and Mary about the Mr. Pizza thing...do they have thin crust?
ReplyDeleteAbout history, see it wasn't unitl I began taking specific courses in college that I began to understand why we don't learn the truth and only get a skewed account, or the "almost truth", or someone bent of anybody's history...and I will stop there.
ReplyDeleteMom,
ReplyDeleteYes, I experienced the same thing at Minnesota. So thankful for that. I've told you all about it! As for Mr. Pizza, they probably have thin crust, but why would you even ask...didn't you see the words SWEET POTATO CRUST? :-)
Jessica!
ReplyDelete:) Your blog is refreshing to look at.
Have you ever visited D.C.? If not, they have a Korean War Memorial there too. However, it is probably half as good as the one you just visited.
On a different note, I got rid of my twitter again because I feel like I am on it too much, and I really don't have anything insightful to say. So have fun!

The war memorial looked like it was very interesting, and the pizza i bet was amazing. Sweet potato crust now that is my kind of pizza! lol
ReplyDeleteyes, I saw the sweet potato crust that's why I asked about thin crust.
