FAREWELL HOWARD

Howard Fang: July 2, 1959~September 15, 2010
Shooter (Howard with his "smoking hearts") and RO (me)

Dear Howard,

I think we have known each other for over 10 years. It all started because of having the same hobby, Survival Game. Later, you guided me to appreciate good watches and I also taught you to enjoy photo shooting. We also share joys and sorrows. There was nothing but friendship between us.

All friends were shocked by your sudden leaving from us. Now you can not join our activities, but we will remember you and keep you in mind forever.

May you rest in peace.



One of your good friends,
James

STEEL FISTS OF SOUTH KOREAN ARMY

"INSIDE THE DMZ" special exhibition

Because of 60th anniversary of Korean War, there is a special exhibition "Inside the DMZ" at War Memorial of Korean. This exhibition tells stories about Korea from Korean War to Today's Korea. Because 99% of the instruction of this exhibition are in Korean, so I could not fully understand all the displays.

But there are 2 items definitely getting everyone's attention, the K2 Black Panther Tank and K21 Infantry fighting vehicle. These 2 advanced armoured vehicles are the pair of steel fists of modern South Korean Army to against the invasion from the north. From my personal point of view, I think K2 and K21 may be the best fighting vehicles among all Asian countries, also are capable to compete with some cutting edge tanks of western countries.
