Hurrah to Korea and Koreans everywhere

In 2002, David and I traveled to Seoul, South Korea and spent 5 days there, attending a ceremony honoring my maternal grandparents as “Patriots of Korea.” We also enjoyed the sightseeing.

Some of these images are mine; some are from unknown sources on the Internet.

My maternal grandparents are buried in Daejeon National Cemetery:

We also went up the Seoul Tower, where we had a panoramic view of Seoul:

We had such a great time in Seoul, which is quite modern and technologically advanced while retaining its unique Korean charm.

Here in Hawaii, we own a Korean car (2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV) and a Korean Samsung Tablet. We love Korean products.

Korea is my ancestral homeland. I am proud of my Korean heritage.

Hurrah for Korea and Koreans everywhere!
