RE: Travel Blog 46: First Time in Seoul,South Korea [ Gyeongbokgung Palace & National Palace Museum]
This is so beautiful! I'm not into touristy things either, but I love a place like this!! What's 'Hanbok' by the way? The water clock is really interesting too! And I love seeing the random girls in traditional dress throughout your photos too :)
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place @explorenations!
Awww, thank you :D Hanbok is the Korean traditional attire, which is the attire that you see in the picture where all the girls are dressed up with colourful and puffy dress. It's everywhere in the palace, somehow it makes me feel lost being there. Like I am an alien walking with just shorts and t-shirt haha.
Oh, I didn't know that's what it was called @explorernations; I love when I learn something new here! haha I can see how you'd feel out of place in your 'regular' clothes 😅
I used to teach high school where we had a big ESL student population, and they would sometimes have a 'cultural' day where the Korean girls would wear their traditional attire. So beautiful! Even better on those days, the moms would come to school and cook all of us teachers traditional food for lunch! So delicious!! 😅
