Every Wednesday since 1992 there has been a protest outside the Japanese Embassy by Korean women who were kidnapped and used as sexual slaves for the Japanese soldiers during the occupation and WWII. To this day the Japanese government has not recognized the suffering of these women nor made an apology. This is the Japanese Embassy with Korean riot police out front.
And here are the women. The five grandmothers sitting in front are "comfort women" and they do this every week with help from sympathetic volunteers. Having been taken in their late teens and early twenties these women are now entering their 80's and become fewer and fewer each year as they die without recompense.
Then a friend and I headed down South to a satellite city of Seoul known as Suwon. This city has alot of the culture that has been covered in Seoul. Specifically a massive fortress and palace complex.
And the most exciting thing is I had the chance to attend the World Cup Playoff between North and South Korea. It was an oddly close game but South Korea won in the last three minutes of the game by one goal. I was still excited to see North Korean players. I wasn't even aware that they had a team.
