Field Trip to National Palace Museum of Korea & Exploring Gwanghwamun

I'm currently enrolled in a class called Understanding World Heritage of South Korea.  I love this class because not only do I get to learn more about South Korea but also because we get to take field trips all around Seoul.  Today my class and I went to the National Palace Museum of Korea and it was free admission.

Here are some pictures:

my professor is so charming

I really like this pic

The King used to ride in this...one of the last few Kings

book written in jade!

There were also an exhibition on the Nguyen Empire of Vietnam.  Here are some pics:

so pretty!

After class, Lisa and I walked around Gwanhwamun.  We saw the US Embassy :)

Then a big statue of King Sejeon outside.

Then there is a whole area of Korea keeping the country Green!

Here are some random pics I took of Gwanghwamun.
