Namdaemun Gate
A few weeks ago an arsonist set fire to the Namdaemun gate, one of South Korea's most historic sites. Located in central Seoul the gate is the oldest wooden structure in Seoul, and was given the status of "National Treasure number one" in 1962. It was first constructed in 1398, rebuilt in 1447.
Sad. I never got to see it.

Hi Kim,
I haven't checked in on your blog for a couple of weeks - you sound much more like your lovely self these days, embracing the adventure and finding your way. You rock! Sorry that you didn't get to see this beautiful treasure; senseless destruction as well as kindness seems to be universal. Love to all,
Ann
I heard about this on the news and meant to ask you about it. How sad that someone would destroy such a beautiful part of history.
That is really sad. What is wrong with people!?!? What else is going on in Korea?
1447...Wow that is old.
What a tragedy. So sad you didn't get to see it.
