After talking in english with a korean policeman that walked with me during my walk, I reached Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁) passing through the main street, Sejongno. I found here at the entrance a ceremony with traditional dresses. After take the 3000 WON ticket, I luckyly took part to a free english tour that was just started. The palace, built in 1295 as the residence for the founder of the dynasty, it's the most representative example of Joseon dynasty architecture. It has many troubles from japanese invasion in 1595 and also during 1911, and it's still under restoration.
