Korea - Day #3 (May 1, 2011) - Gwanghwamun

After Itaewon, we went to Gwanghwamun which is the main and largest gate of Gyoungbukgung Palace.  The area was modified to add a statue of King Sejong who created Hangul (the Korean writing system).

There was an interesting sculpture down the road and we were curious as to what it was.  When we went over to check it out, we found out that it was a big fund raising event to reduce hunger in the world.  You could get a yellow bread bank.
