Changdeokgung Palace

The next weekend we were invited to Insadong by Hokunani. She is a foreign teacher that Amber met randomly on the subway and connected the rest of her cronies to. Thank goodness for Amber and her approachable style! If you ask her, she feels like it's a curse. Not because she meets wonderful, warm hearted people like Hokunani, but because religious nuts and charity groups seem to target her like bees and flowers. :)







The palace had a throne room, sleeping quarters for political guests and dignitaries and separate sleeping quaters for the King and the Queen. It also had extensive gardens which is why most of my pictures are of plants.


Absolutely stunning. It was a fabulous walk and we found out at the end we only saw about 20% of the gardens but the other portion is only avaiable with an tour you have to book in advance. We're thinking about booking as soon as the leaves change colours.
