Fallen Laureate Photo: This photo is a bit dated but still worth posting. On August 18, Kim Dae Jung (김대중), a former Korean president and 2000 Nobel Peace Prize winner passed away. Memorials were held in quite a few places around Seoul but the one at city hall dwarfed all others in comparison. Waiting times were often as long as three hours as each group of well-wishers got a chance to pay their respects, a minute per group.
