Today we were hoping to learn something about South Korea's government. In the newspaper we saw that the Chuncheon National Museum was free only for today. We took the opportunity and left as soon as possible. While we were there our tour guide told us about some important historical events. He taught us about the Korean war and how it affected the whole way Korea was run. He also told us that that war and other things caused Korea to split in 1948. He also explained the 30 year period that Japan occupied all of Korea and how almost all culture was lost. He also told us about the economy. He informed us that the country was a market economy and that it was in an okay shape. After a long day of learning we went back to the Paradise Hotel. It was very expensive, but it was also very luxurious. We got it for 482,664 wons(That is about 432 American dollars!!!) I can't wait until tomorrow!
