Early in the morning after breakfast we were ushered up the bus to visit the Kyongbok Palace which was built in 1394 and known as the largest palace during the Joseon Dynasty. (How I know?? The itinerary is in front of me.. hehe... )
I think this was the place that got me "chilled" up to the bone... my fault.. I didn't wear enough warm clothings... pity Andy too!!! His ears was "frozen" according to him... lol....
the entrance... I think...
Andy and I... we were like "frozen"
hiding behind the walls...
just look at Andy.. poor kid!!
we were looking for shelters..
but seems everywhere is vast area....
so cold that Andy hid behind the door...
and when he was warm enough, he stood guard.. LOL...
While we were at the National Folk Museum...
Andy promised me the moon...
and he tried his best to carry it back..
here is a picture to prove it....
On the way out...
Andy suddenly exclaimed.."hey, an I-Pad!!"
then he started to "log in"......
unfortunately, no WIFI around.. LOL...
anyway..... this is National Folklore Museum.. :)
one for the album
before we proceed to Dangdaemum Market
a major shopping district
where we shopped till we nearly dropped..
The palace in Korea is so similar to those in Japan. What do you think?
ReplyDeletemingna: same with China too.. what do u think? :)
ReplyDeletei can sense you guys were very cold!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe conclusion is: They all came from China! Haha!
ReplyDelete'm like so jealous of you! Even if it's that cold, I wanna go Korea too! XD
ReplyDeleterachel: yes.. we were very cold on that day...
ReplyDeletemingna: yes, mam!!
lina: make sure u wear enough warm clothings..

ReplyDeleteOoooo... Folk musuem... is this where they tell the stories about those folk tales? The stories about Pat-chi, Honduri, and The Boy and the Bitter Gourd and stuff?

ReplyDeleteurgggghh....u make me feel tingling now...I wanna go to KOREA!!!!
New Entry: Dangerous And Toxicated Post!
when I was there, we witnessed guards standing still all over the area there like statues.
ReplyDeleteLena: when we were there, we were laughing at him too.. he is really a joker..
ReplyDeletemerryn: yeah, i think the moon was not for me..hahaa..
pete: didnt know about the glasses but bought souvenirs only..
cleff: no time to listen to stories there la.. just look around and came out.. tired already!
stp: if we were chinese ed, we would love the legends and the stories.. guess that is what we found boring when we visit these places cos we never study their history.. :)
peah: my son started on that idea on the ipad.. hahaha..
wenn: yeah, we saw some guards too.. heavily clothed.. :)
감사합니다
