Thanks for refreshing memories of that trip! Posted by Steed 12/11/2007 5:27 AM | remove   This thing was right next to Gyungbok Palace and Gwanghwamoon. I'm not sure what UPI is but if it's a media thing chances are it would've been in there. Posted by thoughtcriminal 12/11/2007 8:07 AM | remove   UPI = United Press International, Washington DC based press wire service, now almost completely defunct. I remember it being close to the Palace, "Blue House," so this was probably it. Posted by Steed 12/11/2007 8:18 AM | remove   Sounds about right. The demolition of this building was one of the most amateur, inccompetent demolitions I've heard of in this country, with numerous accidental fires.
