{{ January 8th - Full day Seoul city tour part 2

From top to left ... Me outside the National Folk Museum standing beside sculptures representing the zodiac signs...mine the tiger. A conveyance used by a high official. Lastly two images within the museum...


Next stop lunch at a local eatery...we sat at at small low tables and chairs but many sat traditional style on cushions and low table. I had a beef broth dish and Noom had a Buddhist approved ( for him) vegetarian dish. In a word delicious!



After eating we stopped at an ginseng place. Korea is the number one exporter of the world's finest ginseng. After that it was a place selling Korean jade and amethyst product. Sorry...photos not allowed.

After these two places, it was away to the secondary and last used palace Changdeok Palace.

Inside the King's chambers...around the grounds and Korea's national bird the Korean Magpie.
