We did not enter the palace but waited for the 11 am changing of guards ceremony. Something happen while we were waiting. A homeless drunkard man was talking to hubby and me in korean and not sure what he was talking about. He seems so drunk and cant even stand properly, later a policeman came and dragged him away.
Korea is generally very safe but at night especially ladies alone have to be careful when using the underpass or subway stations. Many homeless man will sleep in there to escape from the cold weather. They normally will not disturb anyone but some seems so drunk and they can be aggressive. One night, on our way back to hotel from Myeongdong, we came across an underpass and even before we could enter the underpass I could smell the reek of urine, and true enough there were 3 homeless men in there trying to sleep.
In cityhall station we could see more homeless people sleeping there at night.
Was a splendid performance by the actors and the costumes were very colourful.
After the ceremony, tourists were allowed to take photo together with the guards.
Directions
City Hall Station (Seoul Subway Line 1, 2), Exit 2.
Managed to video the whole ceremony about 11 minutes.
