Wedding on Sabbath and bus tour on Sunday . . . what a weekend!
The 2 SDA Language Institutes in Cheonan came together again for the bus tour of a few historical sights in our city of Cheonan. We went through quite a bit to get to this event. Alas, the day had come. We were able to see quite a bit that would have been hard to see on our own.
Eve and MJ (my Religion students) ready to start the tour.
Jack and his 2 kids excited to begin.1st Stop: Cheonan Museum
The 1st thing we saw as we stepped off the bus: a really cool pedestrian bridge in front of the museum.
Up to Cheonan Museum.
Limited view of the inside welcoming hall.
An old-fashioned car in the kids' hands-on section of the museum--my favorite part.
2nd Stop: Lee Dong Nyeong Memorial and Birthplace
A map of the area.
There are tons of cranes here, it's insane!
Just wanting to get in on the action.
Hmmm . . . maybe Rachel and I got a little too much in the action.
The great patriot.
Lee Dong Nyeong's birthplace. This is the traditional Korean home. It was nice and cool inside.
A hollow tree that caught my attention.
1 of the students from Cheonan, Max, lives here and took us to a restuarant that serves tofu dishes. It was good, but not the best I've ever had. Also, we were a bit late for the bus. Since we were about 15, we weren't too concerned about being left behind.
This sign just begged me to take its picture.
Yu Gwan Sun, the "Joan of Arc" of Korea.
The museum.
This is pretty cool.
Inside the museum, showing a sceen from the March 1st Movement, where Yu Gwan Sun helped lead out and was captured.
The plaza area between the museum and the statue.
Right beside the entrance to the shrine dedicated to Yu Gwan Sun.
Inside Yu Gwan Sun's shrine.
On the way to a neighboring shrine on the same park.
The shrine dedicated to others who have fought and died for Korea's liberation from Japan.

Walking back to the plaza, I see this on my right.
Immortal spirit
5th Stop: Yu Gwan Sun's birthplace (or a replica of it)
Wow, the kitchen doesn't look that bad at all!
Out-house.
The gate around the home.
The house from the bus window.

This is where we had lunch.

How mant typos/mistakes can you find?
Hey, at least they tried; that should count for something.

6th Stop: Independence Hall
This is the statue that greets you as you approach the gate.
The Statue of the Indomitable Koreans
Panoramic view from the Grand Hall of the Nation.
The "Open Space for Harmony and Unity".
Ah, the architecture . . .
I didn't get to see much this time. I entered The 1st 2 exhibit halls that I missed last time, but I couldn't finish them. I did get to view a movie at the 4-D theater. That was nice and kinda funny, even though I didn't understand the Korean.
After this, we returned to Cheonan Station before 17:00. We all went our seperate ways. Today as I finish this, it is Tuesday and I'm still tired. I'd like to do this again and do so with those who were not able to attend this time. We'll see how it goes.
