visiting my parents' house in 광주

I've just arrived at my parents' house in 광주(Gwangju)

I've spent the past 9 weeks in China so I sort of missed them and wanted to see them before I come back here in about a month for the 추석 Festival in mid-September.

Has anyone been to 광주 or heard of the city's name before? ^_^

I have passed through there a couple of times. My friend had his camera stolen at the main bus terminal there. :cry:

Too bad...T.T

I've never been stolen anything in Korea, but you can never be too careful.

Where are you from Keith?

I'm from New York :shock:

but my parents are from Seoul, and everyone else in my family is from 평양 (PyeongYang) - the North Korean capital.

Wow. I wish we could travel to 평양 one day! Now we're only allowed to go to 금강산(Mt Geumgang) unless you go to North Korea on a special corporate or political mission, right?

i have heard that 정윤호 from 동방신기 is from 광주. sometimes on t.v. shows they make him talk with his 사투리. i would like to go there someday.

Since we are talking rumors...
I understand that the 전남 도청 moved from 광주 to 목포. How is that going to impact 광주? I am certain that it will have big benefits for 목포 since that region is fairly poor. Was there a big outcry in 광주 seeing as how the 도청 was there for over a hundred years? I hear the new building is very nice.

My wife's parents just moved to Gwangju a few months back, we'll be visitting them probably in the autumn. I've not been there before but have visitted Seoul, Busan and Suncheon previously.
