I arrived in Copenhagen today after having passed about 30 cities or towns by air, bus, bicycle, tricycle, train or boat , that is only possible with the help of internet. Have stories to share too.
Will arrive in San Francisco on next Tuesday.
I realize the world became much smaller since I was born.
I took about 50 photos a day, total about 2000.
집에 도착하면 정리한 노트와 사진을
여기 정리해 볼 예정.
가장 기억에 남는 장면은 6 월 6일 프랑스 Normandy 해변에서 거행된
놀만디 상륙. 70주년 기렴행사 중계방송.
귀빈들로는 미국 쏘련 이태리 독일 영국. 등 20 여개국 수상 왕 등 이엿고
일본 중국수상은 보이지가 않았고, 유엔이 여러번 언급됐는데, 반기문 선생이 않보여 섭섭햇지요.
유롭 여러나라 들리는 동안 이차대전때 참상은 얘기에서 빠지는 적이 없더군요.
불란서 대통령의 연설, 또 오ㄹ림픽 개회식같은 모래사장위 에서는 공연이
잊혀지지 않고, 지나간 역사를 오늘의 시각으로 되돌아보게 하는 감명적인
행사엿고
각국에서 찾아온 평균 90 세 이상의 노병들이 그 상육전에 목숨을 잃은 70 난전의 전우들의 묘역을
기웃거리면서 찾아다니는 모습은 잊을 수가 없었지요.

여기 방송은 매일 유크라이나 사태가 않빠지는데
독일이 같은 독일민족 통일한다고 오스트리아 침공한 전예가 잇기때문.
놀만디 해변에서 오바마와 푸틴은 악수도 하지 않트군요.
70년전에 싸운 원수국가 수상들이 들이 전부 모인 자리에서
한 불란서 수상의 연설이 가슴을 뜨끈하게 하고 거기에 어린 애들이 외국 귀빈을 전부 에스코트
하는데 다시 전쟁을 하면 그 애들을 모두 죽인단는 암시적인 장면을 연출하고
그 모래사장에서는 포연이 오ㄹ라오고 대형화면에는 피고ㄹ이 상접한 나치수용소 나체시신을 불도져로 구덩이에 밀어 부치는 장면은
말로 표현하기 아려m고.
100 명 등장인물의 연기는 불란서적인 에슬작품이드군요.
Oslo Viking ship museum 에서 산 바이킹 역사책 한번 읽고 나니
세상 역사는 조금씩 북극의 빙산 마냥 변해가는 듣도 하지만
사람의 본성은 많이 변한게 없는 듣도하고. -

Today, a Whole day at Danish National Museum.
The place is so big and one needs to spend a few days at least there.
I spend a whole day in section on the prehistoric period alone.
It deals with their roots from Neanderthal Cromagnon Viking period etc.
Ehnographic museum has one room on Korea.
Usual items: Sila earthen wares Koryo celadon, bunching sagi, white ware etc.
Korean secion needs more space here, too crowded in comparison to Chinese or Japanese section.
One more day in the Botanical Garden and design or Modern Art museum here,
tomorrow.
Tourists , Bicycles, museums of all kinds.
That is a summary before the departure on 10 th june,
The final day of my 40 days circling this globe. -

On June 9, 2014.
Today is the last day in Copenhagen.
1.
Hotel copmuter does not display Korean letters, therefore inpossible to write in Korean.
I can write in Korean using only my iPhone, but often I cannot see what I am writing on the iPhone or often the whole writing disappears and log-in is cancelled.
The hotel computer did not install the Asian language pack for this computer, that is using Window 7.
The disadvantage of those who do not use Latin character will be very painful, unintended discrimination?
I hope during the coming Winter Olympitc in Korea, all the Korean hotel computers would accomodate the guests of all the nations and their
language. Otherwise, they cannot send an e-mail using their own languge unless they use Englsih.
I am sure this hotel did not have guests from Korea or no one complained. Their free offer of WIFI becomes meaningless then.
2.
I went out alone to downtown and visited Botanical Garden.
To my surprise, they collected many plants which we consider "weed " in California.
I learned again that there are many relative plants of those plants I knew.
For examples, there was "pommegranate" SukRyu tree with tiny fruit but same shape of flowers, huge hibiscus tree
"mugungwha", which they call often *rose of Sharon* in America, black sesame plant.*Deul Gguae* without any flagrance etc. It is true that
many fruit trees we know have many relatives with small fruits. The huge pig we see does not exist in Africa. The pig we raise is the result of selective breeding by human beings. I saw milk cow with huge breasts reaching the ground!
Some cactus have many leaves and bear many beautiful flowers. Many varieties of ferns which Koreans love to eat they collected.
I like it when they are put in "Yuk Gae Zang."
Plants have many relatives which can polinated ike human being. For example there are many different kind of pine trees which can be cross polinated. Some species are more tolerant to certain climate and otherwise they cannot survive. Story of american indians who were wiped out
by infectious diseases introduced by Europeans is the same story, eloquently proving what Charles Darwin said some 170 years ago.
Many extinct plants and animals tell the fate of living things on this planet. We humans contribute to that process also.
We have nearly wiped out small pox virus, but HIV virus try to wipe us out!
What races will dominate this earth in 1000 years?
Any guess?
3.
I found that that University of Copenhagen is operating many museums.
One of them was Geological Museum, where they collected all kind of stones or mineral which fell on the earth from the space.
Museum of Geogenetic, Museum of Earth Evolution, Museum of Earth and Star Formation.
They were in the same huge building which is being renovated and not open to public unfortunately.
Well, I will never be able to see them then.
I found the children of this country are very lucky as they can learn more than what they teach in school.
****
I am sorry for being unable to write in Korean, but it is beyond my ability.
Will continue the story with pictures once I go home tomorrow.
But I must reire again soon! -

When you travel foreign countries, very seldom their computer have Korean Language Pack.
When you ask if they have original disk, they always say "no"
because their operating system are all pirated ones.
It's same in Korea too. We can not blame them.
The computer seller load Windows system free of charge when they sell.I used to carry Asian Language Pack in USB memory and, while there's no one around,
I install it and used the same computer every time.
Many times, the computer is under the desk invisible. Finding it was a big task.
Whoever come next to the computer later may be surprised to see Korean language bar.
Of course, they would not know who did it.
They probably would thank God for that. And therefore, I was the God. ha, ha, ha...When I went to Laguna Woods Village many years ago, there were (are) about 40 computers in the computer room.
The computers and the Internet are free for the residents.
None of them had Korean language. So, I started to put Korean language pack one by one.
A few weeks later, almost all of them had Korean language bar.During my days of medical practice, I was a de facto God in the operating room as a surgeon.
After retirement, I was still a God (but hidden) in the computer room. ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.Now, all Windows OS have language bar built-in. You don't have to look for the darn installation disk.
But one still has to get it activated through Control Panel.
민 대감, don't worry about Korean computers during the winter Olympic.
Any reasonably smart morons can get their own language activated.
to witness the footsteps of the greatest generation, Dr. Min.
Have a safe trip back home
and share your stories with us.
