Tuesday awoke to whispering, as usual! I could hear Korean and then “Hari” (my Korean name), this caught my attention, “Are you talking about me?!” followed by giggling! Conversation then followed about my plans for the day.
Hana and Jae-eun had classes but Chan-mi wanted to take me out to a traditional Korean building. Conferred with the other English and most of us were free so we headed out.
The traditional place was an old Palace and its gardens, recently a national heritage site the tours took people round and explained what was what! After an hour and 20 minutes we had seen the in’s and out’s of the site. The elaborate carvings and decoration, the amazing planning of where each building lay, to the size of the doors, which were smaller then your average!
The day was thoroughly enjoyed by all, Chan-mi was pleased to be our leader, and although she claims to be shy she definitely had us all wrapped round her little finger! Every few minutes I would hear, “Hari?!”, she would be looking for me to tell me to take a picture of this or that, always getting the best spot so I could take the best photograph! Loved it!!
We took loads of gorgeous photographs of the place and I cannot wait to work with them in my projects here!
