Vibrant really is the name of the game here, is it not! Thank you for watching and commenting! :-)
Nice. I love the pomp. Fun fact; I once took part in the changing of the Guard, as a Carolean re-enactor, at the Royal Palace in Stockholm.
Oh, how lucky for you! That must have felt magical, to be included in such an affair!
@@thecreativecontessa Wings of History and all that. LOL. It doesn't hurt that the island the Palace is located on also contains the medieval, original part of Stockholm.
“A soldier’s life is terribly hard” says Alice.
It is - especially if you have to play one of those reeded instruments and march at the same time in the summer heat of Hanyang (the old name for Seoul)! :-D
What time does the changing of the guards happening?
Great question! 10 am and 2pm for the changing of the guard ceremony, with drills at 1:35 pm in the side courtyard.
@@thecreativecontessa Thank you so much! We'll consider this on planning our itinerary.
@@kayevee9673 Definitely should be included! Have you also seen my video on Changdeokgung, the royal palace that took over after Gyeongbokgung was burnt to the ground by the Japanese in the Imjin War?
@@kayevee9673 I also have a travel channel (Travels with the Contessa: th-cam.com/channels/umOYH2FT1iw7I7RK-y8Tiw.html) with some useful Q&As on travelling to and in Korea. Talk about what to see, where to stay, what to eat, how to fly there, that sort of thing: th-cam.com/video/5qNtXYKy-5c/w-d-xo.html Also videos on flight reviews to and from Korea and some other tours of Korean sites. 🙂
@@thecreativecontessa I knew Changdeokgung is also another major palace not too far away from Gyeongbukgung. I'll deinitely check your video out! 😁
