Today, we went to Deoksu Palace. The real name of Deoksu Palace was Gyengun Palace. The main gate of Gyengun Palace was Daehanmun. As you know there are Japsang up on the roof. On the roof there are 7 characters. If you look closely to the characters of Japsang, there is Priest Samjang, Sonogong, Jeopalgye, and Saojung.

     In front of that door, there was a stone called Hamabe. This stone meant that we had to get off the horse or sedan chair. At that time, Daehanmun and Hamabe was far from the Kumcheon Bridge, but when there were new roads, it moved closer to Kumcheon Bridge.

     If you walk more, there was a door called Junghwamun. Also, there is a stone picture called Dapdo. Other 4 palaces have phoenix in Dapdo, but only this palace has dragons. Also, there was a sign board with gold letters. I think that the gold letter were very expensive. Dyou know why there was a dragon and the sign board with gold letter? That is because King Gojong made Daehanjaeguk. It was the meaning that Korea is its' own country and he also changed the country's national name to Gwangmu.

    The Junghwajeon is in the middle of Gyengun palace. It was used for official events or ceremonies.

     There was also Hammyengjeon inside there. Gojong was too scared because of the Japanese, so he slept every day different room. So even the servernts didn't know where he slept.

     One building that I want to talk about is Seokjojeon. It is a western style stone building. Also, the second floor was for king and queen's bedroom. I think it was the most attractive building today.

     Finally, there was a Korean style coffee shop called Jeonggwanheon. When the coffee was imported to Korea, it was too rare. So the most people didn't know how to drink it. However, when Gojong and his officials drank coffee together, they drank it in one time.  ^^

     I think today was the best day of Mari story.    

 

Good job but be careful to write in present-tense form. Sometimes you forget the word "the" and use too many words that are not needed.
