Since I did one project during last winter vacation, this place has unforgettable memories for me.
One of events was making a 태극기(Taegeukgi: the national flag of Korea) by hand-painting in Kwanghwamun.
It's Kwanghwamun street.
Of course, there is the Statue of King Sejong.
p.s: Hanguel(Korean) was created by King Sejong.
Many people imprinted their hands like this,
so 태극기 is completed..!
Anyway, I'm not going to post about this.
There is 교보문고 (Kyobo bookstore) in Kwanhwamun, and the bookstore is the biggest bookstore in Korea. I went to there to buy a book for my friend. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the building, but ..
I took a picture of entrance.
(The bookstore has two more entrances though.)
The bookstore is always crowded, so it was rather hard for me to take pictures in the bookstore.
The bookstore has selection for fancy products, so I dropped by the selection to look for 2014 diary.
and there are Korean character products in the selection.
Anyway, I also dropped by Foreign book selection, and there are many interesting books about Korea. The books are usually written in English, and some of them are written in Japanese, Chinese, or French. Though I'm Korean, some books were interesting for me.
There are various kinds of books in Kwanghwamun Kyobo bookstore, so if you are looking for some books in Korea, or just want to look around Korean bookstore, It would be nice to drop by this bookstore. :D
I'll finish this posting with the picture of night view of Kwanghwamun.
