This village has five restored traditional Korean houses and a pavilion, a pond and a time capsule, which make it a perfect spot to take a walk. These houses were rebuilt after the traditional houses of Joseon Dynasty and belong to those of various social classes, ranking from peasants to the king. The furniture in the house is situated to help guests understand the daily life of the past, and the clean, traditional houses. The first day when we arrived in Korea, we visited there but it was closed. We get another chance to experience their life on the third day.

N Seoul Tower is a tower located in Namsan Mountain, central Seoul, South Korea. Built in 1969, and opened to the public in 1980. Seoul Tower serves as an excellent landmark anywhere in Seoul you could see the tower. I know about this Nansam Tower when I watch a Korea variety show “We Got Married”, it was a famous tourist attraction and couple attraction, when I heard that we were going there I was super excited!

Gyeongbokgung Palace was first constructed in 1394 and reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the palace, Gyeongbokgung, translates in English as "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven."
Heavily destroyed by the Japanese government in the early 20th century, the palace complex is slowly being restored to its original form prior the destruction. As of 2009, roughly 40 percent of the original number of palace buildings still stand or are being reconstructed. The place was very huge and we managed to walk around the whole of Gyeongbokgung in more than 1 hour. The interesting part is we get to see the Korean dressed what the Joseon Dynasty general was wearing; tourist gets to take photographs with them.

First we went to Namsan tower. Its is located at a hill area so we need to take bus through some high hill area and we walk to the tower its self where the road is as steep so the bus cannot travel directly. Its is a 360 degree full view when we are at the top of the tower, there is mirror locating which side is which country that you are facing.

After that we visited the Namsangol Hanok Village, we get to see how people live and play in the past without any technology.

Day 4

Seoul Animation Centre - Interesting place with lots of characters in there. Great modified backgrounds and characters are well placed in the transparent box. Games and images of those animation are all in there. They also have cartoon library.





Hongik University - Quite a big area with number of facilities. Though there are quite similar to RP but their designs of the room are different. We were then brought to their art museum and followed by the classrooms.




Digital Media City - Many digital media technologies seemed to be updated in which some i had never seen before. Interesting and fun technologies. They want to be well-known for their technologies to enhance their business.
