1.
Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland

In 2005, someone in Seoul invited me to a walking tour:
Survey of Korean Architecture in Seoul, sponsored by Royal Asiatic Society.
To my great surprise, the guide/lecturer was an american.

He explained many things I have never heard before.
We visited the major palaces, Woon-Hyun-Goong, and those traditional Korean houses in Seoul.

All palace buildings were burnt down in Seoul during the 16 c Japanese invasion except one building
in Ducksoogoong.
The buiding looked very different after his explanation.

2.
Major wars in Korea.

We experienced and read much about the recent 6.25 war.
I did not know much details of the war in Korea between1592-1598 until I read this book.
I bought several extra volumes and gave to friends.

We learn our history from foreigners, maybe more objectively without patriotic coloring?
