On October 27th 2021, 3 YG members and 3 exchange students met at the front gate of Yonsei University at noon. To break the ice, we introduced ourselves and did some small talks. We enjoyed our conversation. We took bus about 10 minutes to go to National Palace Museum in Gyeongbokgung. We walked around the Gyeongbokgung Palace. The scenery was extremely beautiful as the palace was covered with reddish and yellowish leaves. Even if we wore mask on the face, we can feel the fresh air.
We got into the museum. As the Covid19 situation is getting severe, we carefully checked QR code. We borrow audio translation guide for detailed explanations about Korean history.

Through the beautiful sculpture, we can easily understand the meaning and purpose of the peony blossom.
After looking around the exhibition, we finally go to ‘서촌닭갈비’ to eat late lunch. It was a little bit spicy, but the taste was so good. We also went to café designed with Hanok(traditional Korea-style house). We had meaningful time with foreign students with good memories!
