After we slept less than three hours, during the morning we had breakfast at Paris Baguette, a chain store where you can eat french-insipration food, and then we met at IBA and we decided how to pass the day. While everybody went to shopping center and electronic markets, I went alone to the National Museum of Korea (국립중앙박물관) and to the War Memorial of Korea (전쟁기념관).

Inside the national museum there are finds ranging from Korean paleolithic to modern time with prints and very important treasures. There are also ancient books, a section dedicated to Hangul alphabet (it's the base of the current Korean language), Buddah's statues, and goods from other population both eastern and western. Entrance is free, and the museum is quite frequented by young students.
The war memorial is not far away, and it's a structure built for educational purpose to let people know the militar history of the korean peninsula. The related museum (entrance is 3000₩, less than 2€) had a lot of documents about the korean war during the '900, but also old weapons and other objects of korean history. It's possible also to watch documentaries and see the uniforms of the foreigners armed forces that partecipated with troops in a armed conflict. Outside there are a lot of panzers, planes and war instruments.
