Changdeokgung Palace & Insadong




My first Seoul related post..yaay! It took me almost three weeks to finally sit down and post something. The truth is that I haven't been on 'tourist' mode like I was two 2 years ago so I don't feel like taking my heavy camera with me every time I go out. But today was an exception because we had a field trip organized by the lovely members of our buddy program. So our destination was Changdeokgung Palace which I haven't been before. Although it was a lovely Palace I found it a bit crowdy maybe it was because of the fact that is was Saturday or maybe it was the fact that almost  200 students from my university came to this field trip. We were separated into smaller groups which we stayed in till the end. After Changdeokgung we walked to Insadong which is a touristy street where they sell all kinds of souvenirs like traditional pottery, dolls and food. 

One of the details I love are the little animal figures on the roof

Nakseonjae Complex- which the king built for one of his concubines



My buddy group ^.^
Delicious chicken! I have collected so many food shots I should do an own post just about the food here

Insadong-packed with people

I have photos of this place from two years ago-I felt like I had visited just yesterday

We saw this Mandu place where they sell all kinds of different dumplings - supposedly very famous around 

So of course I had to try some! I got the ones with the shrimp filling

Traditional Korean masks
