Google Commemorates Hangeul Nal

Google doodle today, commemorating and celebrating the 565th Hangeul Day (제525돌 한글날) on Oct 10, 2011, Korea time (http://google.co.kr).

Hangeul is the name of Korean writing system, and the day falls on Oct 10 each year.

And, of course, the message is an addition by yours truly, not by Google. :)
