Wow, this is AMAZING.

We'll never forget all the brave soldiers at the warfront. Thank you so much.

Thanks for your video clip. Since 1999, I have not been being able to visit my home country. It is wonderful to watch the War Museum, which was not built in 1999.

Hey Steve, get my package yet?

[stephenworldwide]

@deanfaust Not yet, it will take a week and a half....I'll let you know!

The Korean War was a UN action and troops from many countries died defending South Korea.

[stephenworldwide]

@willminkorea Good point, and the South Koreans are really appreciative of this fact.

[deanfaust]

Almost like I was there. Great music too. Im so proud of you Steve!

[stephenworldwide]

@deanfaust yaaaayy! Thanks lady!

[willminkorea]

It's a very nice museum and there's lots to see. The best part if taht it's close to other tourist sites so you can many things in one day.

[stephenworldwide]

@willminkorea that's true, there's a lot you can see but I didn't have more time to explore. next time i will see even more!

[deanfaust]

@willminkorea Did you know that when the US intervened in the Korean War they pushed the N Koreans all the way up to China. They could have unified the country there but they decided to cross the borders into China. Call it fighting communism or US Imperialism, but the Chinese got involved and pushed the US back down to what is now the parallel. Looking back, with what is happening now, was it a good idea?

[willminkorea]

@deanfaust You do realize that there were millions of opinions floating around at that time about what to do. Plus, MacArthur didn't trust the US Sec of State after China fell to Mao. But, you're asking me if MacArthur was militarily correct in the fall of 1950? Maybe he should have set up a "winter line" just north of the capital of North Korea in early November, but who knows? He didn't trust Washington to negotiate and there was always a fear of Soviet invasion of Germany.

[deanfaust]

@willminkorea by the time the Chinese got involved it was pretty appearant that the Soviets had established a middle position not intending of spreading communism worldwide but insisting on friendly borders, which they had. Chaing's double dealing with the Soviets and US gave both nations second thoughts on the stability of the Chinese. I understand there were many oppinions on how to handle China and N Korea but as history has dictated, the US took it too far.

Oh no, shots from before it got so cold! Haha. :-D Great video.

[stephenworldwide]

@EvannRachel It's really cold in Seoul? Already? Ouch!

[qiranger]

Very detailed account! Thanks for posting this. I love this place! What was the tune(s) you used?

[stephenworldwide]

@qiranger first song is "Les Fleur-Instrumental " by 4 hero, second is "Tattooed Instrumental" by Atmosphere. How can I use the YouTube approved music without using their editor? Can I pull the songs from their website? For now I just scour my itunes collection for tunes...

@stephenworldwide I've never used the music in YouTube's Audio Swap. Check out Jason Shaw [audionautix (dot) com] - and Kevin MacLeod [incompetech (dot) com] for royalty free tracks. There are also sites with Creative Commons music that you can use like [jamendo (dot) com].
