National Museum of Korea

So, I now officially hate Blogger...  It doesn't upload photos properly and the new format is just terrible.  Again, this is my opinion but I have no idea what the H E double hockey sticks the people at that company are thinking.  Then again, it's free.  So, I guess I shouldn't complain.  With that being said and my hatred for blogger evident, I went to the National Museum of Korea in Ichon.  I've seen it countless times and finally decided to stop.  Katrina had a date with one of her friends so off I went.  I would recommend, especially as a first stop museum in Korea.  Also, take a picnic because there is an awesome park nearby.  Anyway, here are the photos.  By the way, Blogger doesn't even automatically spell check anymore, so be careful.  Who knows, maybe Blogger just hates me???
