[KS] Re: Eulogy for Zo Zayong

[Yong-ho Choe]

The Emillle Museum (I believe Mr. Zo used three L's) is located at the entrance of the Songnisan National Park if you go from the town of PoUn.  You take Route 37 and find a huge pine tree, known as "ChOng ip'um song" or the second grade officer pine.  Everyone knows this tree. It's only a few hundred meters from the pine tree along a small stream toward mountain--to the right, that is, if you are going from PoUn.  Bus runs frequently from PoUn and TaejOn to Songnisan.

I am not sure if the museum has been open to the public after he began worshipping his spirits.
