Hi guys, I am in Korea now, obviously I mentioned it in my previous post.
I just want to share in this post that yesterday my friends and I went around Seoul planning to see some beautiful sites to mark the beginning of our tour here. We were able to visit several places. We exchanged our dollars and yuan money to Korean money. Oh my God, the Korean money is so big. The living condition here is very expensive too. Anyway, we are ready for this. hahaha. It’s just the fact of reading and speaking the thousands and thousands of Korean money sounds so big.
One good place we visited was the “Gyengbokgung Palace”.
“Gyengbokgung Palace” History states that this is a royal family’s residence during the Joseon dynasty, is surrounded by Bukhansan (Mt.) to the north and opens up to Sejongno Boulevard (formerly known as Yukjogeori) in the front. In 1395, Lee Seong-gye founded the Joseon dynasty. During the Japanese Invasion in 1592, the palace was burned down. It was rebuilt during the reign of King Gojong in 1868. The palace interior consists of political and administrative facilities, royal residential quarters, and a rear garden for leisure. The queen’s personal residence, the crown prince’s residence, as well as Geoncheonggung Palace where King Gojong resided, and other smaller royal residence, also lie within the premise. (This piece of history was taken from a Korean Guide I found in our hostel)
To support my post, I plan to upload pictures but right now I can’t. hehehe
