In Response to Stefan's question, and from many other comments I have read
on the board, it is very interesting to see the various place names that
were around in the 1700 -1900's here in Korea. Although a tough subject at
best, I have read documents in Japan dated in the 1800's referring to Seoul
as Kyongsong (ÌÈàò), which in a way also makes sense for that time period.
