During the school summer holiday I thought I’d take a holiday and visit Seoul in Korea for a few days.
Day 1 was to see the main tourist sites around Seoul such as the palaces, which are nice and big and impressive. They also have some people in traditional costume wandering around looking very cool.
Inside is a rather impressive mechanical bow thing which can fire 100 odd bolts all at once by using gunpowder. Further along is a big statue of King Sejong who created the Hangul alphabet that is still used today. It’s really easy to learn being entirely phonetic and only having 24 characters. He made it so that even the common people would be able to read and write easily instead of having to rely on Chinese characters or hanja. So that was pretty good of him.
Then in the evening I went to the big tower in the centre of Seoul which has a great view all around and also the best view of any toilet I’ve ever used.
