What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

The most interesting place I visited this week was the Hangeul Gallery. I learned more about the creation of Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, and I learned that a Korean king named King Sejong made the alphabet so everyone in his kingdom could read, including commoners who didn't have money to go to school.
