The location of Mokpo 목포 in
southweste
rn tip of the Korean Peninsula made the place mainly a port city. I remember watching a Korean movie back in the Philippines wherein Mokpo was presented as underdeveloped and not so civilized place compared to Korea's main cities. However, when we got there it was not the case. We visited the National Research Institute of Marine Culture. The museum was high
-tech
and was really huge. It is s
aid that the institute was established to show underwater cultural heritage from the Korean waters and maritime culture including nautical traditions and Korean traditional boats etc.
