Namdaemun Burns



There apparently was a big-azz fire at Namdaemun last night, you can read about it here.

I've been through Namdaemun many times, it was an impressive structure right in the heart of Seoul. It's a couple of blocks over from Seoul station and it bestrides a major market which bears its name (my reason for being so near, honestly big-azz gates, historical or not, don't do much for me). Nevertheless it's a shame to see it go up like this.
