Gyeongbokgung Palace



The King'size palace with 999 rooms.  Why not 1000 you may ask.  Because they could not have more than the King in China and he had 1000. All the rooms were occupied with the Kings slaves.
Todd Simon's escort had a very short visit as we got off the bus. The palace was 5 minutes from his work so he popped by. Will have lunch at his house on Saturday.
