There are tons of palaces in korea and some of them are really huge and classic. We didn't have enough time to visit every palaces so I decided to pick the best one based on tourist reviews. So there we visited Gyeongbokgung on our second day in South Korea. The palace is conveniently located in Seoul. It is just around 30 minutes away from Myeongdong via subway  (Subway Line 3, Gyeongbokgung Station, Exit 5) or 15 to 20 minutes walk. The palace has multiple entrance, Gwangwhamun gate (in this photo) is the main entrance. The mountain behind is Mt. Baegaksan(Bukaksan) The name Gyeongbok means “Greatly Blessed by Heaven.” Gyeongbokgung Palace was built in 1395 and it served as the home of Kings of the Joseon dynasty. It is the biggest palace out of five Joseon royal palaces                  Make sure to watch  the "Changing of the Royal Guard" ceremony.  It is being held at the   Gwanghwamun gate around 10 am and 1 pm everyday except Tuesda

Foodtrip in Japan

Random photos of my Japan food-trip in 2017                                                          Pablo mini cheese tarts I don't think we have these flavors in the Philippines, don't we? Anyway, I enjoyed these little munchkins, they are super delicous. Original flavor costs ¥200 each while the flavored tarts are ¥230. Matcha cheese tart Takoyaki in Akihabara Ramen ordered using ticket machine in Asakusa Matcha icecream bought somewhere in Tokyo Skytree We have also tried Dango, a kind of Japanese dumpling that is made of rice flour and water.  It tastes like Bilo-bilo rice balls, the one that we put in Ginataan in the Philippines.  It is sweet, chewy and heavy on tummy. So if you want to try more street foods after, go easy on this one. This is the best Takoyaki I have tried. I forgot the name of the store but when you go to [..] you will notice as they always have long lines.
