This past weekend my roommate Art and I went to see one of the royal palaces Seoul, called Gyeongbokgung, or the Palace of Shining Happiness. Most of the palace is
reconstructed, having been destroyed by the Japanese and the Korean War. However, the complex is still pretty impressive, and they've only reconstructed about 40% of the buildings. The construction is pretty simple compared to European palaces, but the main buildings are extremely colorful with elaborate hand painted designs covering the structures both inside and out.
