Back in April, Angela and I
visited Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest of the five Joseon palaces remaining in Seoul. We recently decided to explore the second-largest, and the most well-preserved, of these palaces: Changdeokgung.
 |
On the way we stopped off at the Paris Baguette in Anguk Station. This would be a pretty mundane occurrence were it not for the fact that this same Paris Baguette was exactly where Angela and I first met almost a year ago! |

Injeongjun, the main hall. |
 |
Though not as big and impressive as Gyeongbokgung, I found these palace grounds much more tranquil and well-placed within the surrounding trees and hills. |
 |
A brief look at the interior. |
 |
We also entered the grounds of Changgyeonggung, another one of the five royal palaces. |
 |
We sat down to read our books for a while. |
 |
Then the sun began to set, and it was time to leave the complex. |
If you're interested in visiting Changdeokgung yourself, you can easily get there by taking the Seoul Metro to Anguk Station, and walking straight from Exit 3.
