The days seem so fast especially when you are having a great time. It has been a week already since we arrived in Korea. As the end of our vacation gets near, there was not a day when no one amongst us would say "I'll be missing Korea" or "I'll be feeling sad when we leave on Friday". It's just three more days and our vacation will be over and we feel that there are still so many things that we still have to do and discover.
Geez, not even pack on our way home and we are already planning our next vacation to Korea. ^^
On this day, there was really no specific plan as to where we are going except for Changdoekgung palace which is located near SeBP.
As I've posted earlier Changdoekgung is the palace that we tried visiting twice since we arrived but always ended up going somewhere.
Finally, the tour to Changdoekgung with an English speaking tour guide. ^^
Changdoekgung is the only palace in Korea that preserves the architectural style of the Joseon Dynasty. The garden used to be the king’s resting area where you can still see the 300-year-old trees, pond and pavilion.
Behind me is the Chinese Juniper treewhich is estimated to be about 750 years old.
It is a unique tree with trunk that twists like a dragon.
It took us about 2 hours to finish touring this palace. So by the time we were done it was almost lunch time. So, before going to the next place to visit we decided to take our lunch first.
On the afternoon of our 7th day in Korean we all agreed to tour Seoul separately. We grouped ourselves into 3 : Bambie and Elle, Rica and Anne, me and Leah. Nimfa decided to return to the guesthouse and rest instead.
Bambie and Elle went to Myeongdong, National Museum of Korea, Olympic Park, Stream something and Insadong.
Sisters Rica and Anne decided to continue the palace tour and went to Myeongdong.
As for me and Leah, we have chosen to go to ~
Namsangol Korean Traditional Village
this is the way to the subway station connection toSeoul Olympic Stadium
Below photo is still at the Seoul Olympic Station, it's at the lobby of CVG. They have 2 tableaus for photo op. This cardboard dog is from the movie which i forgot the title [will edit later ^^]
And this is the tableau for Coca Cola ^^
Btw, before going to Seoul Olympic Stadium, Leah and I went to a place which i forgot the name ;) to try our luck but unfortunately ladyluck was not with us. ;)

Thanks liezle for sharing your trip with us. Sorry for coming in so late but like you, we were so overwhelmed with the CREA pictures. I keep reminding myself to come here to continue with your trip.
I'm so happy for you that you went to Park BOF, tea loft and Gorilla. Wouldn't be the same without visiting those places when you went to Seoul, isn't it? The palace which you went to, is it the one in Hotelier which Frank Shin went to?
hello again jaime!
about the CREA thing, i exactly know what you mean^^ been too lazy to update my blog since those photos of Yong Joon came out.
honestly, i haven't had the chance to know which palace did Frank Shin went to in Hotelier. Hmm, i think i've to know next time so that I can also visit that palace.
on my next visit I will surely go to Gorilla, Park BOF and BOF again. and if i'm lucky enough i would also want to visit Park BOF in Jeju.
btw, do you have any plans of visiting Korea too?
