Trip to Seoul
Last Saturday we woke up at 8:30 in the morning because we have to go in Seoul to take care our Chinese visa and have my last vaccination at the International Clinic in Itaewon.
Looking at the Sky in Gyeongbokgung
Days seems so fast its Friday again, time to look at the sky and wish all the things you have in your mind. This photo was taken Gyeongbokgung, a royal palace located in northern Seoul, South Korea. First constructed in 1394 and reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the palace, Gyeongbokgung, translates in English as “Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven.”
This is my 4th entry for Skywatch Friday
Ruby Tuesday- Azaleas
When Spring time flower blossoms, this picture was taken three weeks ago here in Korea. You can see a lot of flowering flowers everywhere here. I don’t know what’s the name of this flower but as what I found online it is called Azaleas are flowering shrubs making up part of the genus Rhododendron. Originally azaleas were classed as a different genus of plant, but now they are recognized as two of the eight subgenera of rhododendrons – Pentanthera (deciduous) and Tsutsuji (evergreen). Azaleas bloom in spring, in damp mountainous places, their flowers dying only a few weeks later. They do not need as much sun as other plants; they live near trees and sometimes under them. Azalea is also the flower of the astrology symbol Sagittarius.
