Blue House, administrative buildings for the President (equivalent to the U.S. White House)
Papa in the President's office and in front of the grand staircase
Blue House residency (wooden structures)
Changing of the Guards at Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung Palace, including the throne room
Papa is wearing traditional hanbok clothing. I dressed up [you can rent them for a few bucks]; free entrance comes with wearing traditional clothing. I also asked for the nobleman/scholar edition, which you can see in the embroidery.
Hanbok village = traditional Korean village
Jogyesa Temple = Buddhist Temple
The old central train station was built by the Japanese during the occupation; the architecture shows the German influence
While we were in Germany, Frank went to Seoul, South Korea, for work. He had a lovely time.
Dearest Kelleyn, No doubt Frank had a good time — despite being separated from family. We both have known that feeling all too well! Pieter went as Ambassador to East Asia for 3 weeks in 1987 to visit and lecture at Universities on behalf of the Mushroom Industry. https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2016/02/people-to-people-citizen-ambassador.html Would have loved to join him but it was impossible... Hugs, Mariette
