Korea Life Blog - 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul



The 1988 Summer Olympics were held in Seoul. This tiger was the mascot. Starting to show his age, he ramains today lining the walls of the Dongdaemun Stadium Station downstairs where you wait for the train. I'm glad they left these. They make you think about what that time must have been like here. As with most Olympic mascots, he looks a little odd. I'm not sure what that is exactly on his head. If anybody knows, please share. Also, if anybody has any memories to share about that time, I'd like to hear about them.
