You @ SeoulToday was our first full day in Seoul. We began the day with a journey through the Seoul subway system to Gyeongbokgung Palace. This was the main royal palace for the Emperors of Korea during the Joseon Dynasty.
Afterwards, the group went to have lunch in a Korean restaurant. We ate “Korean style” which is seated on cushions on the floor around low tables. We enjoyed pork dumplings and cold noodle soup (and kimchi of course).
After lunch we toured the Leeum Sa
msung Museum of Art which has a large collection of traditional Korean art such as Paintings and Calligraphy, Ceramics, Metal works and Buddhist Art. I loved the Celadon Pottery and the Buddhist Paintings and Buddhist Sculptures the most! 
The day ended with a opening session dinner at the Korean Restaurant, Daejangeum were we had an opportunity to meet the educators from Australia and New Zealand. There are over 40 of us so the table was the longest I ever sat at! And the food was amazing! Exotic eats of the evening-octopus and jellyfish cucumber wrap. Yum!
