Deoksugung in snow, Seoul, South Korea

January 16, 2010 by Yein Jee

Deoksugung (λ•μˆ˜κΆ) was the main palace of the short-lived Great Han Empire (1897-1910). Visited the place on Friday in hope to watch the Guard Changing ceremony, which was unfortunately called off due to the weather.

Still an enthralling walk with all the snow around; I tried not to look over excited, but my heart was screaming in joy like a little boy lol. The ancient architecture + modern skyscrapers + snow made a good photo combination ain’t so?

Tower of London, UK

May 25, 2007 by Yein Jee

Tower of London – often said to be a must visit destination in the English capital. The place was already closing when I reached there during my 2005 trip… not that I planned to go in anyway; somehow I have no interest with its main attractions.

Buckingham Palace, London, United Kingdom

May 5, 2007 by Yein Jee

First destination during my Europe trip in October 2005, the Buckingham Palace.

Buckingham Palace, London, United Kingdom

Wandering in London by foot was not my original plan; wanted to visit Oxford instead, but woke up late due to jet-lag. It was near noon when I reached the Victoria Station, so it’s more logical to stay in the city instead of going outskirt.

One thing great about London, at least in the city centre, is that it’s full of historical monuments and places. I knew I would bump into some interesting spots without any particular destination in mind. And within minutes from the station, I reached a familiar spot – Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s official residence.
