Pictures from Seoul

I have decided not to wait for internet at my apartment to start posting pictures. Here are a couple images from my recent trip to Seoul.

This is the gate to the Secret Garden at the Changdeokgung Palace.


Changdeokgung consists of about a dozen buildings of varoius sizes. Most of them are in this style and are connected by elevated walkways (so that the king never had to go outside and walk on the ground). The downside of this was that a fire about four hundred years ago spread through several of the buildings via the king's walkways.


This is a shot from one of the shows I watched at the Aquarium in Seoul's 63 Building. The woman on the right (outside of the tank) plays a prince. The woman inside the tank is the princess (complete with tutu and tiara around her wetsuit) that the prince wants to marry. Before they can go through with it, children in the audience must answer trivia questions about various aquatic animals. Needless to say, there was a happy ending.
