(I’m almost caught up on the events I wanted to blog about for the past few months. Woo-hoo!)
The second weekend of August, Quinn’s parents visited Korea, so on August 7, I helped him show them around the Jogno area of Seoul. Which meant a visit to Changdeok Palace and the Forbidden Garden (the King’s garden that no one, not even the highest officials and certainly not some foreign English teacher, was allowed to walk in).
Enjoy the pictures:
We ended up having to pay for and take a Korean tour in order to see the garden, but it was worth it. A peaceful two-hour walk through woodsy gardens was a nice break after a month of hectic classes.

One has to wonder how special the gardeners felt…

600 years ago, Joseon King walked that road like you.
And you walked same road.
Probably, you had felt a sensation of King.
Wow.
I wanna see in the flesh not in history books.
I wish to visit Changdeokgung.
Joseon dynasty royal palace.
p.s. I’m a south Korean.

I just found out about Aclipse the other day and have been interested in it ever since. I came across your blog and am even more interested!
Now that you are pretty far into your job, would you recommend it to someone else? I am very curious. thanks so much.

I would recommend it! I’m having a great time and honestly I don’t know a single person who regrets coming out here.
