The Gwangju Uprising in South Korea.
The best Korean movie I have ever seen.
Today is

Everywhere I go, I like visiting the local museums and libraries.
In a museum, you can grasp the local history in a nutshell.
In a library, you get to see the typical indigenes in a room. Go to any public library in Japan, and you will know what I mean by that.
I love every Museum and library I have been to.
One of my favorite museums is The Museum of The North at The University of Alaska where I was carried away by the photos taken by Hoshino Michio（星野道夫；日语：ほしの みちお）.
