Korean Blue House

"I believe there's something out there watching over us. Unfortunately, it's the government."

- -Woody Allen

That was Woody Allen said about the government. I really agree with him. Today we gonna talk about the government in Korea. Last year, I was lucky that I could went abroad to Korea. The unique part of our trip is when we was taken to a government building. So what is so special with this building until it has been become an icon of Seoul, and many tourists come here to see this building ? We gonna talk about it for today. Enjoy!

General Information :

The building that I visited last year in Korea is called Cheong Wa Dae or in English called The Blue House. This building is a place for the executive office and official residence of the South Korean head of state. In the other word, the president lives right here! Dude, you visit the president! 

My story :

We went to The Blue House right before we went to the DongDaemun. Actually, we didn't get into The Blue House. We just passed by. I saw a big building with a green environment within it. I wanna come closer to see what it is. When I walked closer there is a sign that inform the visitors about the distance limit. We are prohibited to come closer. I just be able to take its picture from far far away.Precisely, in from of the Dongdaemun. As I looked for information about this building, I could understand why they give the visitors the distance limit. As I think that they are afraid if there are spy which spied them. By giving a distance limit, they can avoid these spy. This distance limit also will help the police to deal with the bad guys. So, what is so special with this government building. I will help you solve this question. This building has seven part of building. The main office,Yeongbingwan (Guest House), Chunchugwan (Spring and Autumn Pavilion), Nokjiwon (Green grass), the Mugunghwa (Rose of Sharon) Valley, and the Seven Palaces. Those buildings has their signature shape that really reflecting the Korean architecture style which you won't get anywhere else. That's why this place is famous for tourists as this place is educating the tourist about the Korean architecture. For those who love architecture so much, this place gonna be a cool place to visit.

Poor

I give two stars for this attraction! It offer the tourists a tour to look around for free. The tour takes around one hour. It is quite interesting to observe the building here. The most interesting part is when you been able to visit the president dude! Unfortunately, it doesn't mean that you gonna meet the president directly. However, the distance limit also quite disappointing for tourists who only passing by.
