However, while wandering around the palace, I felt  strangely upset. I began to feel angry at Japanese people when I learned that the name "Deoksu" is not the real name of the palace. The name had been made by them, not Koreans. At first, I could not understand the fact that foreigners could change the name of our palace. That seemed quite unfair to me. 

         Then, I spotted Hamnyeongjeon, the king' s sleeping place. At first, I thought that the building would not have anything related to foreign cultures since Gojong was not fond of tolerating them being spread to his people. I had heard that he didn' t even let his son be cured by a foreign doctor. Therefore, I was quite surprised to see chandeliers and Russian traditional patterns on the ceiling. It seemed a little awkward :he shouldn't have let that stuff in his bedroom if he really wanted his people to conserve Korean traditions. Actually, they weren' t even supposed to be there. I felt both confused and resentful of Gojong.

         I think Gyeongun Palace had to overcome several difficulties because Joseon was too weak. I truly wish it could had been much more stronger. If it were, we could have conserved more of our culture. I hope Korea can become a powerful country from now on and conserve our culture.

Good work, a like your writing style and how you write about your feelings,

I do need to mention to you that the Japanese influenced the name change of Gyeongun to Deoksu, but of course the Japanese cannot change the name of another country's palace-they didn't do this, it was actually King Gojong's son who changed the name because Gojong could no longer be Emperor, and was forced to live in this palace, his son changed the name to mean a long life for his father. :)
