70th Liberation Day of South Korea

Today marks the 70th Liberation Day of South Korea where we are free from Japanese colonization. There were a lot of events going on today and one of them is at the Sejong Art Centre. Wanted to attend the event as well but when I reached there, it was all over.

But well, at least I managed to capture some pictures. I also read from the news that South Korean protesters tore Japanese military flags and anti-Japan placards near the Japanese embassy today. Wow, Koreans really got guts man *clap clap*

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Gyeongbokgung Palace(경복궁) is the largest palace among the Five Grand Palaces. This place is so huge that I didn't manage to tour the whole place (actually I was just too tired & lazy). If you are visiting this place, you have to see the royal guard changing ceremonies. The ceremonies only happen 3 times a day so make sure you don't miss it! There are also free tour in foreign languages, do check out the website for all these timings.
