After spending 3,4 hrs at the folk village (I never knew that I was that cultured, *beams), we made our way to the next stop of the day: Changdokgung Palace aka the 'Jewel in Palace" (Dae Jang Geum) filming place. Only Crystal and I paid to enter because the rest were rather shagged after days of walking and sightseeing.
We spent too much at the folk village and we missed the English and Chinese guided tours, so we had no choice but to the join the Korean tour.
Too many people walking around..nvm, I got little BoA in my picture.
The architecture was pretty impressive but they can't beat the sick Japanese carpenters of Kiyomizu temple who constructed the entire building without nails.
Some kid running around in the palace grounds. For some reason the kids love to run. I had to make him fall with my psychic powers. "FALL,Fall!" and he really did.
Thats for spoiling my picture. Tsk.
The hall where the ministers and officials gather. 陛下~ (pe-i ha)
A gate with my name. This gate should be made the UNESCO most valued World Heritage gate.
Their rooms. I think they need really good ERA agents to sell these rooms in that era. The rooms are much smaller than it seems. Photo taken by Crystal. To create depth, applying her pro film production knowledge.
Da Chang Jin's kitchen. Its so modern that its hard to believe that they filmed it there. Looks more like a kitchen that will serve kimchi pork cutlets with fried cheese ricecakes than traditional korean dishes.
The picture on the right is the toilet. Where they make their 大肠金 .
The pond where King Jungjong showed his affection for Janggeum.
Their servants quarters.
Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival in Korea. To be continued.
