I went to Seodaemun Prison History Hall. I toured a lot of place. I'll introduce you about them.

  First, I'll tell about Independence Gate. It was built in 1896 after the "Arch of Triumph" (in Paris) has been built. Many Korean people donated money to build it. They wanted to get back their independence again. Koreans lost their independence from Japan in 1910. They ruled for 36 years! Oh! Bad Japenese! They built the Seodaemun Prison next to the Independence Gate.

  A lot of Korean patriots did Independence Movement. Yu Gwan-sun, and Han Yong-un are famous for Korean Independence Movement. These patriots died in the prison. Finally in 1945, Korean got back their independence.

  We went to the Torture Room. It shows us the cruel Japanese. I felt a lot of patriots after I saw that room.

  Ahn-Ik-Tae made the "Song of Love for the country." I like that song.

  Korean's national flower is the Mugungwha, which is called "Rose of Sharon." It blooms everywhere in Korea and lasts longer than other flowers. It represents patience and endurance.

  Our national flag is called Tae-guek-gi. It symbolizes the harmony of two opposite forces such as sun and moon, man and woman, heat and cold, or any other things. Heaven, earth, sun and moon are the lines at each corner represent the four universal elements.

  After I finished my trip in Seodaemun Prison History Hall, I felt I will be one of the patriot in Korea.
