Trip in South Korea (next) :

6th Day (13th August 2012) :
We decided to visit the biggest palace in Seoul and the most known as well. We got down at Anguk station (안국역) because we wanted to know and to see the main street of Seoul. We walked until we got there. Then because it was sunny that day, when we entered the palace we were litterally blinded because the ground was only made of sand and reflected the sun ! So make sure to carry an umbrella or some sunglasses during really sunny days ;).
But as we were buying our tickets to enter the palace we started to see a black smoke rosing up in the sky. But because nobody was taking care of it we, as well, didn't took care of it. We entered the palace and even if it was monday the place was crowded by tons of korean people !
But the smoke started to get darker and thicker and it started to invade the palace ! So they started to evacuate the palace because it was unbreathable. In fact it was a building in fire right next to the palace. The firemen, the emergency departement, the police and even the television went there. So we waited outside far away from the palace !

 The entrance of the palace and as you can see the ground was REALLY white !

 Where you buy tickets and the beginning of the fire.

 As we were entering the palace a man started to talk to me ^^

The palace totally covered by the smoke !

But when everything was clear we started to visit the palace even tough it was still a little bit smelly ! We saw the changing of the guard it was really beautiful and we saw the whole palace ! It's huge but it's worth it :)

Then when we were finally done visiting 경복궁 the palace we went to the main street and decided to have a little bit of lunch. Because there were a lot of "paris baguette", "french croissant" "tous les jours" etc... we went to "Paris croissant" and ate good pasteries ^^ and the service was really great !

The most and main place in Seoul ! Where every drama take place (when you see the scenes where they play with water). The king Sejong (세종 ) who created the korean alphabet : hangeul (한글)

 Inside Paris croissant with ajummas in front of the picture eating here as well ^^

Don't know if you can see but it is actually written "Paris Croissant" (still on the wrong side, I know !  Sorry guys :/)

As we were eating we decided that our next stop would be at Apkujeong (압구정) and Gangnam (강남). Because it's really famous for the fashion brands and it's the "hype district" ^^. As you may know the song "Gangnam style" was filmed there as well :)

So we got down at the apkujeong station and started to walk and to look at the shops. Here some pictures for you :

Then as we were walking in Apkujeong we went to Gangnam (강남)  walked through the big streets ! The shop were amazing with awesome decorations and you know what ? It's the district where all the hipsters and celebrities live and do they're shopping usually :D so we saw a lot of big cars that the kpop stars own but not them :( maybe they were inside ! :)

Because we were tired and hungry we decided to go to the nearest metro station. But as we were walking we saw a Baskin Robbins and decided to take our "dinner" there ^^ You know when the temperature is really hot you're not hungry so we didn't ate that much. But I gotta  say The ice cream at Baskin Robbins are delicious !
