Bukchon area is located in upper side of Seoul and we're heading down to Cheonggyechon in the afternoon. But before that we stopped by in National Folk Museum Korea. It's connecting with Gyeongbokgung palace, another good palace in the center of the town.  Nice place to know more about history of Korea.

However if you go straight from Gyeongbokgung palace gate, you will see King Sejong Statue in the center and if you come closer, you can go down and enjoy the museum inside. Not far from there, you can also see statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, the korean naval commander. 

私達は午後にBukchonエリア，ソウルの上側におりからCheonggyechonまで向かってる．しかしその前に，韓国の国立民俗博物館に立ち寄った．その博物館はGyeongbokgungと接続でおり，またGyeongbokgung宮殿は他のソウル真中である良い宮殿だ。　韓国の歴史を知りたいためには韓国の国立民俗博物館は良い所だ．

しかし，もしGyeongbokgung宮殿の正門からまっすぐ行ったら，中央にSejong王の像が見られる．そして，もし近ずく行ったら，下には博物館があって，内部を楽しみ見ることができる．その像から遠くないところに，韓国海軍司令官の像，Admiral Yi Sun-sinもう見られた．

Today's guide is one of my friend's senior in her seminar class and even she is not from Seoul, she still want to guide us in Seoul for all the day. Super duper thank you!

So before we're strolling around Bukchon, we had lunch together. She took us to the a fancy small restaurant, near the main road in Bukchon village area. The salad and the rice are super delicious, i love it!  

今日のガイドは友人のゼミの先輩で，彼女はソウル人じゃなくてソウルまで来てくれた，一日ガイドされていた．本当にありがとう～！

Bukchonに散歩する前に私達は一緒に昼食を食べた．彼女はBukchonの大きな道路の近くで御しゃれな小さなレストランに連れて行った．ご飯やサラダはめっちゃ美味しいだから，大好！

Day 3, Korea Trip 2012 Part 1. We got lost in this big city | 3日目，韓国旅行２０１２ パート１．私達はこの大都会の中で道に迷った．

Actually we're going to Kimchi Museum first before met our today's guide. But due to misunderstanding, we took the wrong train and get lost. We couldn't make it to go there because we already running out the time. Then we changed our plan and went to the palace near our meeting place.Thankfully we didn't get lost on our way back to our meeting place.

実は今日のガイドに会う前に，私達はまずキムチ博物館に行くつもりだった．けど，誤解があってから間違った列車を乗って迷った．時間が不足しているので，あそこまでできなかった．そして，私達は計画を変更し，待ち合わせ場所の近くに宮殿に見に行った．ありがたい事のは私達のお待ち合わせ場所の帰る道に迷わなかった．

Surprisingly the palace has many beautiful buildings inside with beautiful garden in front. Too bad we didn't put this palace as our destination yet thankfully we got lost earlier so we could come and sightseeing for awhile. We also took a part in secret garden tour that they provided. Even we couldn't finish all the tour, we're still satisfied knowing the history from the guide. We must go out soon before the meeting time. We didn't want to make our today's guide waiting too long.

Next part will be telling about our trip with our guide. 次のパートはガイドさんと一緒に観光についてである．
