seoul day 1 part 2

It is autumn and it was 12 degree C, warmer than yesterday. Our first day mission was to get all tickets so that we could get going with our trip uninterrupted.

After breakfast with toast and coffee at the hostel we left for Deoksugun Palace.
Istana lama ni berdekatan dengan City Hall. Untyk ke sini boleh berhenti di city hall station jika mengambil train.

I considered myself lucky because while we were there they were having a changing guard ceremony. I have to say that it was an honoured experience, it felt like i was taken back to the old dynasty time.
Pic kat bawah ni antara yg dirakam... beria ria saya berlari dari palace sehingga ke muka pintu utama untuk merakam peristiwa ini. Memang mengasyikkan.

And... the comander, yg pakai pakaian biru tu

Namun misi utama untyk cuba hanbok pakaian trdisional korea tidak kesampaian kerana sesi tersebut dilakukan dalam waktu tertentu. Nampaknya kena pergi cuba kat tempat lain.


Lagi gambar bagi changing guard ceremony...

See you again in Day 1 part 2.

Kita makan ni dulu. Jumpa octopus bakar ni di Insadong. Memang best. KRW3,000 satu bekas.
