For the first trip we went to the Gyeong bok palace. This palace was the main palace in Seoul city.

Before going into the palace we saw some kind of a military ceremony. It was quite interesting. Then I learned about the 5 main colors of Danchong and what they symbolize. Red for fire, yellow for earth, green for trees, white for the clean mind, and black for water. We saw the bridge with Haechi standing with it. The bridge means 2 things. one is to seperate the inside and outside and the another is to clean the soul before going in to the palace. I really loved the view because behind the Gyeong bok palace there was moutain.

Sa jong jyeon was the place that king and his civil officers studied. I think it was funny that the king didn't heat the room because he was angry when he saw his officers sleeping during the studying time.

We also had vocabulary quiz and it was fun. I really enjoyed the time in Gyeongbok palace and I hope the next palace would be fun too. One thing that was not good was that it was too cold to walk around. It was great to learn more about the Gyeongbok palace and I should visit here again
