Gyeongbokgung Palace


Before we went to the palace we went to see the Cheonggye Stream, it was beautiful. It was int he middle of Seoul, right in the heart of the city!
The visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace was very fun and interesting. The palace was huge, so were the grounds that the palace sat on. I was so impressed with all the details of the building, I couldnt believe it was 600 years old! I wanted to go to the Folk Museum but we didnt have any time. Following the Palace we went to Insadong and had lunch with Professor Seon and his family. Then we went to Professor Seons office and tasted some tea. My favorite was the last kind of tea we drank which was from China and fermented in mud! (sounds gross but it was actually good!)
