Deoksugung Palace is located at City Hall station and was initially used as a residence Grand Prince Wolsan who was the oldest brother of King Seongjong. This palace is surrounded by modern skyscrapers and feels like a walking through a secret garden portal. This palace used to be lived in by Korea's royal family up …
If you're looking for activities to do in Sydney, the famous Coogee (pronounced Koo-gee) to Bondi walk will certainly appear in your search. This walk is 6km along the coastline, passing through other smaller beaches and some of the most expensive properties in Sydney. The walk will take about 2 hours but if you're going …
Apparently one of the ways to lessen reverse culture shock is to seek out the food or culture back in your home town.
