My beachside chalet at Hamhung, North Korea.

A guided tour of the chalet. Hamhung is on the east coast of DPRK/North Korea and is the 2nd largest city after Pyongyang. This little resort was in a very peaceful spot away from the city centre. One of the highlights of the trip! You fell asleep and woke up to the gentle sound of the waves. Apologies for the low-level lighting: this seems to be the norm for the country.

Hamhung at night.

A video of Hamhung, DPRK at night in April 2012, this video was shot during the city's annual 'air raid practice' according to my North Korean guide. For about an hour the city was plunged into total darkness with only one or two lights remaining on. During the hour a car with loud speakers sat in the middle of the deserted road blaring out propoganda messages and music.

Origin of 🥣 wheat noodle
Remember the movie international market?

During the Korean War during the Korean War, numerous refugees fled to Busan during the evacuation of Hungnam from North Korea.

Food was too scarce and starving refugees tried to make a living through cold noodles, home food,

Since it was not possible to obtain potatoes or buckwheat, the name of the noodles was made by making noodles with wheat flour that came from the aid of the U.S. military, whose staple food is bread.

Since then, Myeonmyeon has become a traditional local food based in Busan.


♦️Naraquium Busan Integrated Government Building is the first state-owned land development project in the Busan area, and Camco has invested approximately KRW 89.9 billion in state-owned property management funds into the old government buildings, covering a total area of ​​36,000 m2, 10 floors above ground and 4 floors above the ground for smart administration ·Established as a research facility.

Until May, the Busan Regional Food and Drug Administration, the Southeast Regional Statistics Office, and the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service Busan Office had completed their move.

KAMCO will contribute to the vitalization of the local economy by improving the urban environment as well as improving the administrative efficiency as well as solving the problem of lack of work space for three government agencies in Busan.

United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan, South Korea

The United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Korea (UNMCK; Korean: 재한유엔기념공원; RR: Jaehahn yuen ginyeomgongwon), located at Tanggok in the Nam District, City of Busan,[nb 2] Republic of Korea, is a burial ground for United Nations Command (UNC) casualties of the Korean War.[nb 3] It contains 2,300 graves and is the only United Nations cemetery in the world. Laid out over 14 hectares (35 acres), the graves are set out in 22 sites designated by the nationalities of the buried servicemembers.
The Korean War began when North Korean People's Army forces attacked south in June 1950. As the fighting progressed, temporary military cemeteries for battle casualties were established by United Nations forces near the towns of Taejon (July 9, 1950), Kwan-ui (Kwan-ni),[13] Kum-chon,[13] and Sindong.[14] When the North Korean forces pushed towards Busan, these cemeteries had to be abandoned.Later, as the Battle of Pusan Perimeter developed, temporary cemeteries were established at Masan, Miryang, and Taegu, with a Busan cemetery being established on July 11, 1950. As the fighting pushed into North Korea, temporary cemeteries were established in or near the towns of Kaesong, Sukehon, Wonsan, Pupchong (Pukchong County),[13] Yudarn-ni and Koto-ri. Some 11 division-level cemeteries were established in the first two months of fighting and later 5 UN military cemeteries were established in North Korea.
At the beginning of the war, the nearest U.S. Army mortuary affairs unit was the 108th Graves Registration Platoon in Yokohama, Japan, which was searching for the remains of missing World War II American airmen. The 108th was reconfigured as the 114th Graves Registration Company and deployed to establish temporary cemeteries at Hungnam, Pyongyang, and Suchon as the fighting continued. Supporting the 2nd Infantry Division was the Graves Registration Section of the 2nd Quartermaster Company, which collected the remains of Allied and American soldiers to be further processed by the 148th Graves Registration Company. When UN forces launched the Inchon Invasion in September 1950, a platoon from the 565th Graves Registration Company accompanied them. Other mortuary affairs units included the 293rd Graves Registration Company, activated in April 1951. It was difficult to recover remains and conduct burials in Korea, due to the rugged geography and harsh climate, and the threat of unexploded ordnance and booby-traps.
Construction of the Tanggok cemetery
Construction of the United Nations Military Cemetery (UNMC) at Tanggok began on January 18, 1951 and was carried out by hand-labor over a 28.2 hectares (70 acres) site. It was dedicated by General Matthew Ridgway on April 6, 1951. Graves Registration units then concentrated American and allied remains at Tanggok before they were permanently buried or repatriated. Besides burial services, refrigeration units to store remains were added, as were cremation facilities. Today the 2,300 graves in the cemetery are set out in 22 sites designated by the nationalities of the buried service members.

Post-armistice
Following the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement in July 1953, the United Nations Command sought to recover bodies interred in North Korean territory.[26] Cemeteries for POWs in North Korea were established at 16 POW camps.[27] From September to October 1954, the resulting exchange of casualties, dubbed Operation Glory, between United Nations forces and the North Koreans resulted in 4,219 remains being recovered, of which 1,275 were non-US casualties.[28] (Also exchanged were the remains of approximately 14,000 North Korean and Chinese casualties.)[29] From 1950 to 1954, approximately 11,000 casualties were interred at UNMC, which was maintained by the United States Army Graves Registration Agency.[5][30][31]

Foundation as a United Nations cemetery and transfer to CUNMCK
It was officially established as the United Nations Memorial Cemetery on December 15, 1955 with the passage of UN General Assembly Resolution 977(X).[32] Following the war, the cemetery was funded from the United Nations budget, but the Sino-Soviet world objected to this funding. In 1973, the cemetery was transferred from the UN to the Commission for the United Nations Memorial Cemetery (CUNMCK), which is composed of representatives from the 11 countries who have servicemembers buried there.

Cultural heritage and tourism
The cemetery is designated as Site 359 in the listing of Registered Cultural Heritage Sites in Korea by the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea. Also, it is a visitor attraction for Pacific Rim tourists.[37][38] In 2011, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon described it as the only United Nations cemetery in the world.

K 목장 - 비움과 내려놓음 (제 8편)

심신이 힘들어지는 요즈음 입니다. 복잡한 도시를 뒤로하고, 한적한 겨울산으로 발걸음을 옮겨 봅니다. 잎이 떨어지고 없는 나무들 사이로 저 멀리까지 숲속의 속살이 빤히 들여다 보입니다. 이 전에 보지 못했던 멋진 나무들과 바위들이 모습을 찾아보게 되니, 새로운 즐거움이 다가 옵니다. 자연까지도 '비움과 내려놓음'으로, 보는 이로 하여금 행복감을 느끼게 해 줍니다.

6.25 전쟁 당시의 '흥남철수작전'과 장자의 '무위사상', 그리고 '무소유'의 법정스님 이야기를 통하여, '비움과 내려놓음'에 대하여 생각해 봅니다.
