Recently had a chance to go up to Seoul and participate in an interactive historical re-enactment of prison life through the lens of Korean freedom fighters during the Japanese colonial era (circa 1910 - 1945). Rough patch of Korean history! By design, the re-enactment kept me (and other foreign participants) on edge. The atmosphere is tense and portrays daily life for Korean prisoners after their country had briefly been taken away from them. If you're ever in Seoul, be sure to check out Seodaemun Prison. And be ready for an adventure! Much appreciated to Funday Korea Networks for organizing this thoughtful experience.
