Hi! My name is rainbowrose.

 Today, I went to Deoksu Palace. Gyeongun Palace is the real name but Japanese changed. There are western style bildings, so it is unique. This palace was the house of the older brother of King Seongjong, but here became to main palace after Imjin War. And Gojong lived here,too. Let's start looking for rooms in here. Junghwajeon is the important building in the middle. Junghwajeon, the throne is beautifuly decorated. Seokeodang is the only two-story building in the palace. Jeukuodang was the place for coronation. Junmyeongdang is place where king Gojong once stayed. Hamneongjeon is the place where Gojong died. Deokhongjeon was the reception hall for foreign guests. Seokjojeon is a western style stone building. Jeonggwangheon was the relaxing place for King Gojong. And there is funny story in this room. Gojong enjoyed drinking a coffee in this room, but people didn't know how to drink coffee so when he drank coffee, the official poured the hot coffee into a small liquor glass and drank it down. We don't do that now, don't we? In October 1897, Gojong changed the name Joseon to 'Daehan' and made himself emperor. And Jagyeongne is a water clock that was invented by Jang Yeong-sil. But today, it have disappeared. Surprize Quiz! Did the King eat Soybean Stew like us? The answer is yes. But names and scales were different. Another Quiz! Who make food in the palace? Answer is the special cooks called Dae-ryeong-suk-su and Jubang Sanggung. Jubang Sanggung lived in a palace and made daily food. Dae-ryeong-suk-su came to the palace to make party food. Ohhhhh........... I think I tell all of my story. So sad. Bye~!
