Another Palace!

Back with another palace. This time Deouksu palace. The palaces all sort of look the same, I know, but still. These pictures have fall leaves in them. And me. These were taken Sunday, 21/11/11.

My language partners girlfriend and me wearing hangbok, the traditional Korean (upper-class) dress. It's a much simplified version. And it's kind of fun being a touristy tourist.

This is the courtyard in from of the king's meeting hall. The stones are markers for where persons of different rank are supposed to stand.

A stage. It's quite different from most of the architecture of Korean palaces and temples.

Road outside the palace. It's said that if you walk there with your significant other, you will break up.
