Despite the cloudy weather, the photos look good, it's a beautiful place. What happened to you with the rain has happened to me too and when I'm not ready to take the pictures, the best sunsets are seen and it turns out that I had the cell phone downloaded hahaha

@roundbeargames, Yes, the weather is reflecting as gloomy and overcast but in my opinion it have it's own beauty aspect for sure.

And in my opinion, the place where you had an walk is reflecting as busy and hope that you enjoyed the walking time just excluding the voice of Vehicles.

And thanks for sharing some aspects of History too and good to know that this place hold an importance in many aspects.

Keep doing great job and for sure i can say that you are doing an awesome work and hopefully you are also enjoying these explorations.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Admiral Yi Sun-sin must have been a bad ass judging by the statue.

How tall is the statue of him?

The statue is 17 meters tall and made from bronze (another source has described it as 19m tall, and yet another, as a 6.4m tall statue on top on an 18-meter pedestal). -wikipedia

Unfortunately they lost in the ocean.

Unfortunately for Japan, fortunately for Korea :)

Is the dragon symbol part of Korean culture and history as well. It's present in China. I don't know about Japan.

I wonder if dragons actually existed? It can't be just coincidence or myth. The symbol/coat of arms of the city of Ljubljana is a dragon actually and there's a statue of it.

roundbeargames (70) · 6 years ago (edited)

later on during ww2 japan did succeed and they took over 😆
korea doesn't have too many dragons in the culture. maybe a little in stories.
dragon symbolizes the emperor in asia (mostly china), and as a chinese protectorate, korea didn't really have the permission to create any culture around it.

roundbeargames (70) · 6 years ago (edited)

people protest about everything 😄
one thing i don't like is that most people just do it for the sake of it. nothing actually gets done lol

but still, being able to do it is at least some form of freedom.

filotasriza3 (66) · 6 years ago

i think the main issue with protests is that mostly everyone goes ''solo'' for example we may all have problems and we wanna protest but today you may see 100 people protesting about lower wages, the next day 50 people about pensions etc etc

What possible these numbers can achieve... they see them up there and laugh at them-at us. We need to be more organized in this shit

Great video, I love the idea that the warrior king is guarding the gate from so far away, inviting opponents to use the square as a fantastic battleground.

Hey man. I enjoy the way you do these. I am wondering if it isn't your enunciation, rather the outdoor noises which interrupt the sound of your voice + no doubt, your walking and the noise will interrupt your flow of speech. I don't find it disruptive however. Doing it any differently will I believe alter the format of your video presentation too much, taking away what makes it most special. It is natural, ad lib, off the cuff - raw. If you really feel some of your viewers can benefit from a bit more clarity, how about adding some funky text to highlight what you are presenting ;-)

Thanks once again for taking us there - another place I haven't seen yet!

roundbeargames (70) · 6 years ago

Awesome tips man! Yes i dont wanna take away the raw aspect of it because i dont like it when everything is scripted and setup to 'look right'. For this particular video the traffic was so loud there wasnt much i could do anyways 😂
But im glad that you enjoyed the video. Ill do another one next week! 👍
