Korea Day 4 : Gyeongbokgung - Ilsan

One of the highlight of my Korea trip is visiting the biggest palace in Seoul, Gyeongbokgung.

I do not watch many Korean drama but when I was in high school, I used to like a drama called Goong or Princess Hour in English. Where some of the scenes took place in palaces.

I was lucky to arrive there when there was the famous changing guard ceremony. 

The palace is big, the entrance is cheap and it includes the ticket to enter National Korean Museum.

That day, I met up with my Korean friends, had dinner and spent the night at my Soobin's house at Ilsan, a city next to Seoul. The three of us stopped by at a park to see Ilsan fountain show which is only held during Summer.

Korea Day 3 : Namdaemun - Coex - Bogeunsa Temple - Gangnam

Being tired after all day Lotte world and night shopping at Dongdaemun, the next day we decided to explore Korea's shopping district.

In the morning we went to take a look at Namdaemun market which located near our hotel, got some Korean snack for breakfast and then we took the subway to Coex, the underground mall.

To be honest there is nothing at Coex, it is just an old big underground mall with big aquariums and cinema which we did not go. I would totally regret going there if there was no Bogeunsa Temple nearby.

Bogeunsa temple is the largest temple in Seoul, a 5 min walk from Coex Mall. It was kinda interesting to see the differences in architecture between Korean and Japanese temples :D

later, we stopped by Gangnam which is introduced by PSY to the whole world to meet my Korean friends.
