After our luncheon at the Latin American Festival we had plenty of time on our hands to do something else with our day. I tried talking Shauna into a peaceful walk around a park near our location but she insisted on doing it "some other time."

So, we ended up in Yongsan at the Korean War Memorial Museum. Basically, its a museum surrounding the Korean War. But they have 10-acres of property where tanks, missles, aircraft, helicopters, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers, amphibious tracked tanks, personnel carriers, trucks and more are spread out on the property awaiting decay in the sunshine. They had war machine relics from the South Korea, France, Soviet Union, US and Canada. Plus several monuments, sculptures and fountains.

We didn't have time to actually go inside the museum but... Here are some images from the outdoor collection.
