Travel is an escape and a horror.
It is an adventure and a new knowledge.
Travel is not just about seeing and hearing, it is about a change in perception.
Dool had no special mental preparations for the trip, as it was an accidental trip he took after finishing his MBC Korean History of Thought lectures that lasted for eight days from June 26 to July 3, 2004.
So it was a huge shock and discovery for him.
This book will usher in a new era in our understanding of history as a Korean civilization exploration account comparable to the travelogues of Marc Poloy or Ibn Battuta.
The topic of Dool's message for the 60th anniversary of liberation, the year of Eul-Yu, is the rediscovery of Asian values.
Korea must be reborn as Asia.
