Changdoekgung

Over Chuseok break, (after the beach) I went for a day to Seoul to do some sightseeing with my friend Casey before having to go back to work. We went to one of the "5 grand palaces" of Seoul, Changdoekgung. It was used up until 1926, by the last Dynasty in Korea, the Joseon Dynasty. We took an English tour that lasted about an hour and a half. It was really hot, but super interesting. We took lots of pictures, and it was great to get out and see some sights. I spend a lot of my free time eating dinner or hanging out in pubs with friends, so I try to find adventure when I can. It takes only about an hour by subway to get to Seoul, so I can get there quite easily. These are pictures from the palace.
