I registered for the KLPT Test for the end of April and since I did, decided I should start studying for it. I have two books to go through before April 27th which gives me 31 days. I know how the test works, what I have to do to do well, how to study for it, and what areas I have to improve on; it's just a matter of doing it.
Last weekend, I got out to see some of the sites in Seoul. Some of them I've seen before but some I haven't. This is a statue of King Sejeong (above) who invented the Korean Language Hangul over 500 years ago. This is near the temple called Deok Su Gung and it's right across from City Hall in Seoul. To be honest, I enjoy seeing the temples and stuff but after going to some of them they start to look the same and they're not as magnificent to look at as when I first came to Korea. Looking at people is more interesting, in all aspects. The good looking young women, the ugly people, the kids that are cute, the kids that have no manners and are noisy, the vexatious older men horking and spitting, and the group of older women that seem like they yell at each other when they're having a conversation. (see Billy's Blog: other pics for some good examples of some faces)
This is a view inside Gyeong Buk Gung Palace.(above) It is the most visited in Seoul and on this day here were visitors from Northern China, Philippines, Japan, and I even saw a few groups of European tourists. And below is the pavilion where they used to hold a lot of parties. I think it looks nicer in the winter when the pond around it is frozen and there is a layer of snow on the roof.
