Our family had a fun time visiting this free museum.

Outside you can find the mascots of the 2018 winter Olympics in Korea. The museum is free and definitely worth the price. I will show you some of the interesting things I found here.

The museum is located right next door to the US Embassy Seoul.

It is really easy to get to. I just finished renewing my passport and walked to the next building. I was happy to see the American flag.

My brother and I really enjoyed the Children's Museum

But we mostly watch old Korean cartoons and read comic books. We thought about what it was like in the time when our grandparents went to school.

We love comic books.

This is Maruchi Aruchi. My mom says she read this when she was little.

Gomjung Gomushin (Black Rubber Shoes)

This cartoon series cracks me up. It's about two brothers in the 1960s but it reminds me so much of me and my little brother.

My grandpa's car. Just kidding.

This was one of the first Korean cars.

I have an address book in my phone but back then they had real phone books.

I wouldn't even know how to use this phone.

Our Nation had Independence from Japan in 1945.

But there was a great division.

Now there is some hope through the Olympics.

Here are the Olympic mascots for the winter Olympics in history.

This is Paektu Moutain in North Korea

I hope everything goes well in the winter Olympics.
