Our city tour included an hour walk on the 40 hectare grounds of Gyeongbok Palace, the biggest and main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty which was built in 1395. The sprawling walled city, housed 7,700 rooms and served as the home of kings, their household and government offices.
The 500 buildings all look the same.
This is their own version of Buckingham Palace’s changing of the guards:
Omb——“Ay tart, kukunan ko yung mga puno, ang ganda”.
E——–“Anong maganda dyan, ang pangit nga walang dahon”.
