Dreamlike Wonders @ Deoksugung Palace

The night is ablazed with lights...
...the palace is partly dimmed in lights...yet the city is fully raged in lights...
...not a single soul but mine ....^^walked this part of the palace....when this pic was taken!^^
...I sensed an overwhelmingly throbbing...I mean...pounding...I mean....beating heart...as I saw the sight.
...well..not to exaggerate...
...but it's my first time to see all these.
So..it makes a perfect sense that I was insanely ecstatic!

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.

Inside the Korean Tea House

Being soaked into the depth and scent of the Korean tea house was like another journey into the olden day of Korea's heyday when tea houses dotted the landscape of Korean society. It is completely different from today's modern world Korea where coffee has somewhat replaced the facades of most streets in Korea. 
Ok, just look at the wall right there: see the China ware and the bamboo-made ornament being attached there there? it's the first cool impression that I got.

AND NOW....we were so lucky that it was raining that day. What's more? since it was a raining day, so we got 10% discount!!!! Yippey what could be more enticing than this, then?

Another corner of the tea house. Ok, some may think that this is a bit overwhelmingly crowded for a tea house. But, I think that's what it was meant to be. The interior must've been intended to be so.

Some visitors could just look or admire or wonder or maybe just ignore or overlook the intricate details on the walls. If one could look at it a little bit closer, one may find something that could interest him.

let me break it down: a lamp^^, a bunch of dried persimmon, a bulk of dried corns, yarns, and...others that I  need to scrutinize more to find out what they were. The thing was...there could be myriad or endless arrays of things to behold.

A traditional kerosene-lamp was there, too. IT think it was a sight not to be missed in the modern city like Seoul. This is truly a remarkable item intact.
......-....... 
And...that was all about it. Should I recommend it to anyone? sure. Just brave yourself and go into the alleys at Insadong and brash up for an adventure into Korea's past.
