A visit to the palace

It's common to visit palaces if you have ever been to countries like China or Korea. But, never once visited own country's palace. Because before this we can never pass beyond the gate. The most you can do is snap some photos in front of the gate.


 The gate minus the usual guards and horses

For the past month or so(up til yesterday) the palace is open for visits since now the King is no longer staying there. He shifted to a new 'house'. hehe

I found the time to go 2 days ago to at least take a look. Only part of it is open for exhibition I guess. Nothing fancy. Can't really tell that it's a palace actually. A bit disappointed. Maybe I expected too much?






The lamp post looks quite nice. haha

Suddenly, my parents decided to go to the temple in Broga (near uni). The last time I was there is when I was little.




When I saw this old man fishing, I knew I had a picture here. But turns out he changed his clothes and became younger (grey hair instead of white hair).
This is what I meant when I said 'little'.
