"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

A moment as king of Joseon Dynasty..

This was the number one interesting experience during the 3 days in Seoul.. After a cultural backpack tour to historical palaces, national museum and traditional market street, on the last day, our last destination was Namsan Hanok Village, a must-visit traditional village of the last dynasty (1392 – 1910) here! A memorable photo was taken.. Seoul
Apparently, from the photo, the guy wearing king hanbok 한복 (traditional clothing), has no fate as king, because where on earth the king smile this much! Handsome, by the way... Okay, temporary king only.. Well, have to say the girl in Queen hanbok has a traditional face.. very please to meet her (just coincidence) and have her temporary as our Queen, to make a complete Royal picture. Not forgetting my friend in blue hanbok, looked like a Warrior, cool huh.. at least better than the temporary king. Yea! Okay, time to return, back to work. And, this marked a happy ending for our trip, also for our hot summer vacation.. Nonetheless, this is the start of August, YoosS!
