Hello Everyone!! I am currently in Gwangju, South Korea teaching english. I have created this travel blog so friends, family etc can keep track of my adventures! Kwangju, also Gwangju, city in southwestern South Korea. Located in an agricultural area, it is an important regional transportation and commercial hub. The main industries are rice milling and the manufacture of textiles, automobiles, and beverages. Chosun University (1946) is here. Kwangju has been a marketing and administrative center since the 1st century BC. Modern growth of the city dates from 1914, when it was connected by rail to Seoul. In 1980 pro-democracy protesters held the city for more than a week before it was retaken by government troops; several hundred protesters were killed in the conflict.
