I’m continuing the collection of linked stories called 냉장고와 넷플릭스 (Refrigerator and Netflix) by 홍지운 (Hong Jiun), and in the second story, one character is obsessed by the Ghibli films since they’ve been added to Netflix. I felt like this happened very recently (like this year), but checking it out, it was in February 2020! #Korean #ReadingChallenge

We visited Dondeokjeon (돈덕전) a Western-style building in Deoksu Palace (덕수궁) that was built during the Korean Empire, but demolished in the 30s. The building has been reconstructed and just opened to the public.#3GoodThings
🆓 The entry to Deoksu Palace was free today so no need to queue up to buy a ticket.
🗺️ There were exhibition rooms inside the building about the diplomatic activities of the Korean Empire. It was very interesting!
🌳 The park is lovely and the weather was nice.

🍃 And there was a nice cool wind outside, so walking 10,000 steps actually felt refreshing.
📖 I finished a book!
