For the past week or so I have been struggling with classes and stress, so I had been very hesitant to go out. Mostly, I have been staying inside and focusing on by work. Today, however, I decided to be spontaneous and take Vlad and I to explore a place called Bukchon Hanok Village. This area is full with buildings, plants and palaces as old as 500-600 years. It was a sight to see, and took both of our breath away. We walked in a neighborhood, a few parks and a couple of palaces. There was so much to explore and learn, but it was getting late, so we couldn&#8217;t take our time to read all the info they had. We plan on taking more time to visit this area really soon!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a title=\"Bukchon Hankok Village\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/intlctr\/51299286895\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51299286895_d72ece2798_b.jpg\" alt=\"Bukchon Hankok Village\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sydney M. standing in Bukchon Hanok Village.
