The first destination on the cultural program was the gyeongbokgung palace . The kids were given prior notice that if they wanted they could try out hanboks from the rental place near the palace and Tiara had opted to try it while Hana decided not to .

The kids who opted to wear hanboks were brought to the shops and once their were clad in the hanboks of their choice the tour began with the guide explaining the history and importance of that landmark.

Tiara and Hana were sticking close to the guide wanting to hear the explanation well and were taking notes of their phone whenever they were told something really fascinating that they were worried they might forget later.

Day two of the program they were visiting the Namsangol Hanok village  and one other Korea folk village that tiara had failed to catch the name of and this time the kids who weren't wearing hanbok the prior day was given a chance to wear and this time hana had readily accepted the offer . They tried alot of street snacks and met some locals during lunch, old ladies who were ready to share stories of their child hood and stories they had heard from their parents about Korean history .

After lunch they were once again walking around the place when the two girls came across a beautiful and photogenic spot. So hana approached one of the other kids who were with them .

Ha: hey. Would you might taking a couple of pictures for me and my friend here?

Girl: ah yeah sure. I'd love to.

The girl instructed the two to stand in different formation and angles and once the two girl saw the final product they were quite satisfied and made sure to thank the girl well for helping them
