I went to Gyeongun Palace.                                       

The real name of the palace is Gyeongun Palace but the Japanese changed it to Deoksu Palace.

It has western-style buildings.

Daehanmun is the main gate of the palace.

Junghwajeon was the place for official events such as coronations and royal weddings.

We could go inside of the Junghwajeon because it was Saturday.

Seokeodang is a two story building where Inmok, the Queen mother, was locked in by Prince Gwanghae.

Seokjojeon is a western-style stone building.

Jeonggwangheon shows both Korean and Western architecture designs.

Gojong enjoyed drinking coffee at Jeonggwangheon.

Jubang Sanggung and Daeryeong suksu were special cooks.

The Jubang Sangung made daily food.

The Daeryeong suksu made party food.

The Daeryeong suksu were men.

I also learned the difference between phoenixes and dragons.

Phoenixes stand for "dynasty" and dragons stand for "empire."

Good work,
