The National Museum of Korea

One day a month, Korean middle schools close, and no one has to come to school! It's awesome. On my day off in November, I went to the National Museum of Korea at Ichon Station. I really love museums and can't believe it's taken me so long to go to one here. I guess I feel like I'm constantly busy, and time goes so fast for me. My weekend is over before I know it, and I go to work on Monday, and next thing I know, it's already Friday, and I'm looking at another weekend that will be gone in a flash. This was an amazing day because I only had to wait for the Jungang Line subway for LIKE 10 SECONDS. I think the Jungang is the slowest subway in Seoul, and its trains come the least frequently. I have never had to wait less then 10 minutes for the Jungang Line before, so I was really happy. The museum was really beautiful and nice. There's an amazing view of Seoul Tower on the grounds. Most of its collections are ceramics, jewelry, and old weapons. I thought the royal jewelry collections were amazing and now I want a crown.
