One of the many sites I was able to enjoy this summer was the Hwaseong Fortress which was built in1794. It was built to protect the area from invading armies. The fort is surrounded by the growing city of Suwon.
Lynn Wiens and I were in Korea for 5 weeks working at 5 different ESL camps throughtout the city of Seoul and Suwon. The tour of the fort was a nice break from teaching.
There was an interesting show of 24 different types of martial arts used to fight invading armies.
