Climbing DOWN the Bukhansan

Now it's time for me to descend from.the top of the mountain. ...and I found pretty nature captured...

...and finally...I saw rooftops closer...

...and the Seoul Trail stamp...

...where hikers could stamp on their book...

...to.capture the moment...

...they had on the go...

...as I reached the city...again...

I could see a vast park....dg semuaaa yg ditawarkan

....dan kutakpercaya...

..tadi barusan aku naik gunung.

...dan skrg hrs sgr naik bis utk jumatan.

...and I found this lovely flower 

....budding goodbye to me.

Eyra's Class Performs....

학계발표회 Today...parents were invited to attend the class performances by the students. They did a terrific job!

Eyra made a standing comedy. ...no...she made some quizzes for her classmates. It's kinda funny to see her made most of her classmates think hard ..almost...quite too difficult to answer the quizze....

..but...that's the whole idea. She gave her friends....presents...for having the answers correct. 

Seneng jg dia senang bersekolah.

Autumn at Night in the Palace... ...

A stroll in the palace at night...

Enjoying the autumn view at night...

Amazingly ....splendidly....arranged lighting cast on the linebup of trees

Doksugung Palace at night was like a completely different palace I never knew.

The gate wouldn't really tell what's inside...but once you're inside the complex,

You'll wish you had more time.

A Blend of Past ~ Present

As I was walking into the Doksugung Palace, I noticed a uniqueness that I could only see from this side...

...highrises as the background of the palace seemed to be a must-be-pothographed section of the palace.

It's nothing particularly great or wow-ing...but..there's a sense of calmness in the midst of the city...

...since just a few minutes earlier, I was right at the center of Seoul with its traffic and all, but.... 

..look at this...

I love the blend of Traditional and modern world in one place!

....and as I kept on walking into the inner part of the palace....I found even more amazing view.....enjoyable only at night!

....Doksugung in a different perspective....

Thanks to my Sony Alpha camera...that accompanying me all along.

Gedung Bersejarah...

Walo tak bnyk yg bs kulihat....

..tp mengabadikannya lwt kamera...

Menghabiskan waktu di balik gedung iji..

Bisa....well... transport me back in time...

The red bricks....andvthe old lamp...menjadi saksi sejarah...

....autumn....gave it an additional beauty to look at...

...pada gedung yg jd bukti bisu...

Korea jd jajahan Jepang saat itu mulai th 1905. Ya...Eulsa Treaty.

A Walk into the Past...

 Though the museum was about to.close, I knew that I had 20 minutes left...

..to enjoy the eeriness...of this cultural site called Jungmyeong-jeon.

...a place where in 1905 became the historical witness to the Eulsa Treaty...

...infamous for its forced effect of Korea's fall into the hands of Japanese Empire.

The second place I enjoyed for my night walk was a banquet hall within the complex of Doksugung Palace. Gosh..it reminded me of Jogjakarta Sultan Palace.

Its...charms....engulfed my senses..^

...then off I went exploring the complex of Doksugung....

...at night with Seoul as its Backdrop. 

My camera...vividly captured how harmoniously intense...the blend of modern and traditional ...really is.

Terowongan di bawah tanah...

...yg baru kutemui hr ini...

..tak tahu bhw ke kampus bs lwt sini...

...jika jalan kaki...

I didn't know it existed!

...I usually take subways so I never knew about it...

...I could walk to my campus and instead of taking the bus or subway...I could walk and go underneath...

...and there...I'd be just another 10 minute to my class. But...I won't go in there at night.^^
