Today I took the subway to the middle of Seoul to find Doeksugung Palace, which I did eventually as you can see in the pictures. But at first I just saw the wall and didn't know where the entrance was, so I just kept walking. It ended up being quit a nice and quant area, very charming! I ended up eating at a restaurant that had Spaghetti with minced beef and a good vegetable sauce and a coke, it was a little bit more than usual but it was worth it. Then I found the art museum and went through the three story exhibit titled Dual Reality. I didn't understand all of it or the point but I think it was challenging what we think of as reality, very modern a lot of DVD and sound displays. The best part was on the third floor was a display with a wood floor with flowers painted on it, A sort of Japanese paper on it, and a projector of light looking down on it. It was animated and when I got there some little kids were throwing the paper around and then the mom joined them. Then I did and a few others did too, but the more you throw the paper around the brighter the garden gets and the flowers start to pop! It was neat.
I finally found the Palace entrance but they were having some culture show today and there was a bunch of people dressed up in traditional Korean style. I finally went in and was surprised by how big the area was and how calm, peaceful and tranquil it was. It was a perfect Fall day too, cloudy with a breeze but not too cold. It was nice.
Right now I am watching TV on the TV my boss bought me. The thing is though that for some reason I get none of the English channels including the one sponsored by the US Army. And they have already came and hooked the cable up, so what is the deal. Right now I am watching some Korean drama and making up my own story when I pay attention!
Today was a good day, even though last night I sent an email to a friend that is probably going to come back in bite me! Oh well . . . I am in Korea.
