Day 6 - Gyeungbukgung & Insadong

The problem of writing a travellogue too long after a trip is, you tend to forgot what took place when.... hehehehe..... I've a valid reason for dragging this for so long.  I'll explain later.  I really wish to finish this once and for all. :p  

Day 6 - Gyeungbukgung & Insadong

The subway brought us directly in front of the palace. :)  We spent a long time there.

Nothing much actually.  Just like any other palaces. Nevertheless, should go.

We spent most of time sitting around chilling out.  

Seeing artist at work, people watching, talk cock sing song a little.  

Actually, I was still feeling rather drained from the flu or whatever I had at that time.  Too lazy to walk so much. :p  The painting is so nice right?

Coincidentally, it was also the very day of BERSIH 2 in Malaysia.  Borrowed this yellow fist for this photo.  My way of supporting BERSIH all the way from Seoul!

Pretty maiden in colourful hanbok.

 The main arch of Gyeungbukgung.

 A photo of us. :)

 A pair of korean twins.

Interior of the palace.  Very similar to the Forbidden Palace.

Same same right?  Colour scheme also the same.  If not mistaken, they are all Chinese a long time ago, from the 3 kingdom era. 

 Standing on 600 years of history.

 The National Folk Museum of Korea at the back of the palace.  Free of charge entrance. 

A pretty pagoda in the middle of the pond.  Very chinese.

By time we got out of Gyeungbukgung and arrived in Insadong, it was almost dinner time.

Insadong, plenty of shops, little stalls & tourists.  Lots to see and shop.  But I would prefer shopping in Myeongdong more. :)

I can't remember what this is.

These on the other hand are snack made out of corns.  

Our dinner - some flowery stuff.  Lols.  We picked a rather nice restaurant, ordered some beers (must have), and this.  Hmm.. it was... *blek*.  Lols.... some rice, cuttle fish, lots of vege & flower petals!  Weird... 

Insadong is pretty nice place to walk around and explore.  They have streets and streets of shops.  But shopping are generally pretty expensive in Korea except for beauty products of course.  That basically concluded our day 6 in Seoul!
