Mountains and Cemetery's


Spent a day up on the mountain overlooking the city. I could have hiked up or take the cable car. I took the cable car.

And old fortress  ones stood on the crown of the hill. Just the gates a left now, heavily restored. Place was packed with Korean ramblers, all wearing the universal uniform of ramblers worldwide, woolly hats, walking sticks and silly socks.

Visited the United Nations cemetery where thousands of those killed in action in the Korean war are interred. It's the only UN cemetery on the world, with war dead from each of the 15 countries who participated in the war represented. And interesting list of countries with some surprising entries on the list. Very moving place and very sad when you remember the Korean War cost so many lives with the end position being almost identical to the start.
