It's field trip time again!!!

Hoorah. Field trips are always a good chance to take a few stupid pictures of myself. This month, we were at some sort of Korean history museum.


Too bad I can't tell you much about these buildings or what was in the museum. I spent most of the trip telling the kids to stay in their damn line.

I do know that the museum is centred around the palaces of the Joseon Dynasty, which ruled Korea for quite a few years until the Japanese Dynasty (1905?), followed of course by the current Soviet and American dynasties that split up the peninsula (1945).

Hoorah, history!


Pony tails and long hair and mullets are a part of Korean history! Wow, my country has those, too.

My favourite part of any history museum is the small scale sendups of past houses, cities, now-highly-illegal fishing vessels, etc.

And of course, the mannequins in traditional dress who are only four feet tall.


The best part is that the mannequins are realistic. I'm willing to bet that a five foot tall Korean was a giant up until a hundred years ago.

And I truly hope humans are still getting bigger. I want Shaquille O'Neals and
Andre the Giants to be more common, and if genetic engineering and eugenics are necessary, then so be it.
