Deoksugung

 I went to look for a palace that has a changing of the guards and there was a lot of things to look at in this area.  I toured the palace first and then saw the ceremony.  Then I walked around and found some cool stuff!


The Deoksugung Palace.


I think this is City Hall but I am really not sure.

I went during the Chuseok holiday and they had a special art thing showing some traditional instruments.

There was some entertainment as well!





The main throne for ceremonial occasions.

Love the coloring.



My traveling bear had his first outing in Korea and these girls looked so pretty.


The guards to the palace.

The entrance.

A neat building across the street.

Photo op!

The changing of the guard ceremony!





The other palace I found but no idea its name.



A ceiling in the entrance to the palace.


A memorial to the Korean war.


Cool looking police car, thing!

King Sejong the great.  There is a whole museum to him underground which is my next post!

A couple neat looking displays for being green.
