Gyeongbok Palace with matching scarves

one of the last things we bought in Myeong Dong were matching scarves. Couples are a big thing in Korea, from matching clothes ( identical) to all sorts of couple discounts. I loved seeing the couples in matching clothes, although sometimes it was extreme and sometimes it was much more....subdued. Like coordinating. Or the same thing but in a different colour. Josh and I had to do the same thing, so we shopped around for ages to find a scarf. At the very last place we went, we got these beautiful thick knit scarves. We didn't pay much for them, and they are really great scarves. And of course, there was a discount! In the morning, we headed over to the big palace in the centre of the city. We thought about going to Gangam, but I wanted Josh to see some of the history in the city. He really liked it and I took him in time to see the changing of the guards. We saw a lot more of the palace that I did the las time i was there, even going much farther out to the back of the palace complex. We had a really nice time, as it wasn't very busy either. It was a great way to end our trip, nice and relxed, rather than how I usually am, rushing everywhere. It was so nice to be in a different country than home, where we could speak English and be understood, eat a lot of our favourite foods from home and get some great photos of the two of us!
