The Royal Guard Changing Ceremony

Today a year ago at thr afternoon, we participated with the crowded to watch The Royal Guard CHanging Ceremony. As we enter inside the Gyeongbokgung Palace from Gyeongbokgung station, the ceremonies already started. The Royal Guard-Changing Ceremony is a great opportunity to experience. A rare traditional scene in Korea which we only can see in Saeguk drama. Managed to record the Performance though a bit too late. Sorry not much photos on the scene cz im too concentrate and jawdropping while watching the ceremony with too many handsome guard. ahakss..

Sungyemun Gate

From Namsan downhills to Sungyemun Gate took us about 20 minutes walk. We just walk without any guide from any map.  A queen of road as many said(will always have a solution without lost the way), i just follow my own instinct where to. And finally we met with Sungyemun Gate. Great!! Lets take a photo with this beautiful traditional building!! Sungyemun or unofficial name as Namdaemun Gate is the largest castle gate stone structure with an arched entrance in the middle. Sungnyemun Gate is Korea’s National Treasure No. 1. The unique things about this gate is surrounded by tall building. Its seems like we live in past and present in same time. A passageway for traffic is located at the east and west ends of the gate.

Korea Spring 2014

It has been a year..Hmm, miss the aroma of the coffee every morning during my 10 days there. Miss the cold weather which reached to 9°C during night time. I am missing everything there~~!!The foods, the beautiful scenery, the nightlife of Hongdae, the beautiful traditional building, and the music of the train whenever the train arriving at subway.

Gyeonggi English Village, Yangpyeon Camp

Been 1 year after me n Moon visited Korea. How  i missed those 11days in Korea. And today, i would like to make a throwback photos the location of Boys Over Flowers for Shinhwa High School’s hallways, lobby, and exterior facades. First opened in April 2008, Gyeonggi English Village Yangpyeong Camp covers a 100.935㎡ area and has a total of 55 buildings, which are modeled on historical buildings in Virginia, United States. This educational English camp consists of condo-style dormitories, an artificial soccer turf, indoor gymnasium, health club, swimming pool, outdoor concert hall, observatory facilities, and more. The English Village was the location for the scene when Jan-di’s friend, Oh Min-ji, spills ice cream on Gu Jun-pyo’s shoes.

Panoramic view of Seoul

I love enjoying the great panoramic view of Seoul while walking up the mountain. To be honest the view is stunning at night to experience a great view of Seoul underneath. However, walking downhill is a great experience too. My suggestion, if you travel by cable car up the hill, buy just 1 way ticket. You wont regret to walk downhill as you can see great view of Seoul City. These photos taken along my leisurely walk tru the park up to the Tower. Enjoy scrolling!!

Yes..thats 236.7m tower sits atop Namsan Mountain
