Palaces of Korea

        For its distinctive traditional Asian architecture, Korea is well known. I visited a good number of palaces throughout my entire stay in Korea. The building design was gorgeous. All of the palaces had essentially the same plan. The difference is the palace's occupied land area. Be a Roman when you're in Rome, the proverb says. Wearing the traditional Korean hanbok in a palace is very exciting.

        I was dressed in a hanbok when I went to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Also, there were other events taking place daily inside the palace. There were also some tour guides available to walk visitors—both Korean and foreign—through the palace and provide background information. I observed them thoroughly describing every aspect of the artwork, the architecture of the building, the wall pattern, the chimney structure, and the history of each item. History is always exciting. Isn’t it?

Here are the glimpse of few palaces where I have visited.

Korea- A country of peacefulness

Image
          If I were to pick one of the loveliest and happiest times in my life, it would be when I stayed in South Korea. I never thought south Korea would be such a stunning cheerful nation. I had the chance to spend about six months in South Korea. This was my first foreign trip and of course, my best journey. South Korea is one of the most developed countries in the world and also technologically advanced country. Kindness and Culture:           As a foreigner, when we travel to another country, what makes us to feel warm? Is it the food? Is it the technology? Is it the facilities? Absolutely not! It’s the people who makes us more comfortable. South Korea is majority of people with Kindness. I felt kindness in each and every one I met, be it in workplace or outside. The culture is so rich and welcoming. There are mostly polite. They have a great helping tendency. It was because of the kindness of my Korean colleagues as ...

Balwangsan mountain (Yongpyong Ski resort)

Image
          Balwangsan mountain would rank among my top travel experiences in South Korea, given the option to choose. I went on the entire day trip by myself. One of the longest cable cars in Asia, measuring around 7 km, was located in Balwangsan. The cable car ride to the peak took about 13–15 minutes. Snow was falling, and the weather was excellent, adding to the beauty. This was the day I had been waiting for to post the song "puthu vellai malai" in my status. Snow blanketed the entire mountain because it had been snowing all day. It also features a sizable skiing area where a great deal of people were skiing. The view of the skiers from the cable car was amazing.           I felt as though I was getting close to the blue sky after reaching the summit and gazing in the panoramic vista of the mountains spreading out beneath me. I felt as though I was floating above the sky from the top observatory since it was snowing nonsto...

Seoul International Fireworks Festival 2022

Image
          How could I forget the evening which made the Seoul Sky colourful and made me to feel like it was morning? A great day at Seoul happened on September, Seoul International Fireworks festival. The performance took place in Yeouido Hangang Park. Since it happened after 3 years, huge set of people gathered along with their families and loved ones.           I was very amazed with how well they had prepared. They bought the necessary food, a mat, and a tent. It made the ideal display for a picnic. Even though the show planned time is only after 7 o'clock, they arrived early, and just enjoyed themselves with their loved ones. This is life. Am I right? Spending time with family and loved one’s on a special day makes the day more special.           At 7.30 p.m., the fireworks display had begun. Italy, South Korea, and Japan were the three nations that took part in the event. The show was incred...
