April 6, 2011 ~ Gyeongbuk Palace

So this was the second place we were taken to. A friend of mine wanted to go exploring and took me and my Korean friend, Dan Bi, all over the city. This was not planned, and I was sick, so we were sort of suffering haha! Gyeongbuk was the main palace of Korea but after the invasion was the second to be restored.

The front gate of the castle. Right outside are the guards. They're so serious and kind of scary looking, but also very bright looking! ^_^

The walkway upon entering through the gates.

The throne room. It was nice, but what I found awesome was . . .

. . . the CEILING!! Just look at it! The details, the complex structure and vibrant colors!!!!

 More pictures of the premises.

Dan Bi and I near the end of the trip to the palace. We were dying hahaha! Little did we know that we would be taken to another place yet!

Yeah, only when we got up did we saw this sign on the platform we were laying on. hahaha! ^o^
