S. Korea 1

April 12, 2012 we took our 1 am flight in Cebu International Airport. We arrived in Incheon International Airport at 6 am in the morning. So much for the beauty sleep but South Korea here we are!

First in our itinerary: The National Folk Museum of Korea

Next: The Palace where the royal family of Korea lived. This place also became known because some scenes were filmed from Jewel in the Palace. A popular television series not only in Korea but also in neighboring countries like the Philippines. FYI: the museum is near from the palace and you also need a ticket.
