    Hmmm. Either no one got it, or we need a hint.

    Is it along the edge of the War Memorial and War Museum in Samgakchi?

    You’re not talking about the Seoul History Museum, are you? I’m not sure if that’s what this is, but that’s what I was referring to when I said 경희궁, because I think the museum is on the palace grounds (but not sure).

    I’m just trying to get out of the basement.

    Kushibo, yes you got it, these pagodas are located right across from the Seoul Museum. You are now out of the basement.

    Craptacular! Wow. It looks like these things are in somebody’s front yard or something. :shock:

    Yay! I’m out of the basement! It’s an honor just to be nominated.

    Since I have tenants renting out my apartment while I’m in Hawaii studying, I had to stay with friends this past summer. One place was in this general vicinity, and I passed near this place on the way to the local McDonald’s, which had free WiFi.

    Leon LaPorte, if I recall they are on the periphery of the museum grounds (which I think used to be part of the palace grounds), which during the post-war era had “modern” houses like those in the background built right up next to it. A lot of the houses are now converted restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and small businesses.

    This is fun, even when I don’t actually get the answer. I guess all of us are in a position to play spoiler between Mark and Leon LaPorte (who’s not the real Leon LaPorte, is he?).
