7th July (Day 2) - INSADONG


9am
Wake up and get ready for today's journey.

10.25am
Move to Gyeong Bok Gung Palace by public bus. All the public transportation in Korea uses tMoney card, which is similar to Touch'n'go card in Malaysia.
The Gyeong Bok Gung Palace was attached to folk museum, thus we had the opportunity to learn up close about Korean traditional lifestyle and also experience the difference with traditional life in Malaysia.
