So as you recall from my previous post, I was missing home, sweet Los Angeles!! However, with the changing of the weatherr, (get this) sunny and 76 degrees today and has been for a whole week, and coupled with the fact that my dear friend Winnie came to visit me from Hong Kong this past weekend, things are definitely looking up! It was amazing to have a bit of home come visit me in Seoul. Here were some of our excursions:
Picture Above: We went to the Korean Folk Village where Winnie got to pose with women/girls dressed in traditional Korean gowns. The girls were ecstatic to pose with Winnie and quite excited as they got to practice their English!
Picture Right: Winnie and I are posing at the National Folk Museum~ a traditional boy and traditional girl.
Picture Left: We also took a visit to the Gyeongbokgung Palace from the Chosun Dynasty. It was so serene and beautiful here. Of all my visits to Korea, I have never been to a Palace. There are apparently 4 palaces just in Seoul. And because I was so impressed with my first visit, I plan to view all the palaces before I leave Korea. In the picture to the left, Winnie and I are posing in front the Kings main sleeping quarters.
Picture Below: We also did some shopping and eating at Myung Dong, the fashion district of Korea. As you can tell from the pics, Winnie and I did some eating and some shopping. The bottom picture are traditional Korean sweet buns filled with a touch of honey. Mmmmm....
