The Rapture....Or Modern Art??

A few weekends ago, Jon and I went on a crazy adventure in search of T.G.I.F. with Michael and Sarah. We walked all over these back alleys and couldn't find it anywhere. Finally, we asked around and found a phone store that helped us out. After having the taxi driver on the phone being directed by T.G.I.F., we arrived! When we stepped out of the taxi, this was the site that we saw...

Statues staring up at the sky...


and other statues walking up a pole towards the sky.
I really didn't know what to think or what to say, but to just take a picture.

Also on this adventure, we saw an "Old Western" shop with some random cowboy apparel and this t-shirt. It goes to show that they have a lot of bitter roots towards the Japanese, but to even show it in English, I thought was odd. It's really unfortunate about the hatred, even my very young students talk about their hatred towards Japan. Maybe the T-shirt is American because it's English, I don't know. So, maybe we also need to forgive our bad history, but either way, not a great shirt. The history between the two countries is very bad, but I think that if they were to apologize, accept, and forgive, there could be some major progress and growth between the countries and as they work together in the world. I hope to see the relations between Korea and Japan get better, so better things can come from it all.
