Corregidor's Mile Long Barracks


Corregidor's Mile Long Barracks key chain


This is what I only got from the island of Corregidor; it's somewhat a plain picture encased by a clear hard plastic. I bought it since I want something from there.

The picture is the Mile Long Barracks on the island of Corregidor. On this island you can see many preserved barracks and firearms used during the Second World War. Here are some of our trip photos on the island last April 2010:

Visiting this place would take you back in time. Even though we were not alive during those days, we can still savor the days of the war. Creepy as it sounds but we can know and better comprehend what our ancestors and grandparents are telling us. This is my second time to visit this place yet I still learned a lot.
