Jason, Victor, and I took a walking tour around Changdeokgung, the most well maintained palace around Seoul. It was the governing place for the 3rd King of the Chosun dynasty, Taejong. He was the father of Sejong, the king who developed the Korean letters.
The English tour was nothing to boast about. Even for me, it was very difficult to understand the sentence structure to what the tour guide was saying, on top of her poor pronunciation. So, I acted as a tour guide for the majority of the time there.
Despite it all, it was quite amazing to see the intricate details and the maintenance of such delicate pieces of buildings for 500+ years. However, after awhile it gets pretty boring as all the palace structures are same whichever palace around Seoul you choose to go.
