Mulloskeys Adventures Abroad

This is a long overdue post and we should start by apologizing to our friends Miah, Ben, Michelle, Lindsay and Brian for whom the greatness of the time had this night more than warranted a posting much sooner.

Korean Memorial Day occurred recently and Erin and I thought this would be a great opportunity to check out the famous Korean War Memorial Museum in downtown Seoul. It is famous for having more exhibit items (tanks, plans, missiles, etc) than any other museum in the world. Given that the major war here was only [...]

More to follow tomorrow about our trip to the Korean War Museum but this one had to go up first. Not to make light of this general’s contributions to he Korean people, but how could we not post this. Our Korean is still a bit rusty but the translation reads “Off the battlefield he had [...]
