Sights and sounds of Seoul


In Gyeongbokgung , we saw the changing of the guards. The whole process was rather impressive with drums rolling and colourful flags waving in the wind. However not all the guards looked very happy though, like this one that we stood next to, to have our picture taken.













Koreans are known for their flair for detail. Nearby, there was also an interesting exhibition on stone-sculpting and woodcuts by various Korean artists like this one. Buddhism is a major religion in Korea and this masterpiece is created by tiny Korean inscriptions to form a Buddhist swastika.



Best of all this is what Morgan thinks of the National Palace, and whatever remains of our only map, haha!
