At Gyeongbokgung Palace.


@Seoul - The changing of the guard ceremony at Gyeongbokgung Palace.

A few weeks ago, it had a heavy fall of snow in Seoul,
and the temperature was so low every day that the snow didn't thaw.
That's why I spent the most time at home by reading books, and watching DVD.
But the snow was thawing slowly, so I finally went out after so long.
The temperature was still a bit low(-8℃), but it's a cloudless blue sky.

It was interesting to see The Royal Guard Changing Ceremony.
The ceremony is held between 15:00 and 16:00.
