    Nice. I love the pomp. Fun fact; I once took part in the changing of the Guard, as a Carolean re-enactor, at the Royal Palace in Stockholm.

      Oh, how lucky for you! That must have felt magical, to be included in such an affair!

      It is - especially if you have to play one of those reeded instruments and march at the same time in the summer heat of Hanyang (the old name for Seoul)! :-D

    What time does the changing of the guards happening?

    • @thecreativecontessa
      @thecreativecontessa  2 года назад +1

      Great question! 10 am and 2pm for the changing of the guard ceremony, with drills at 1:35 pm in the side courtyard.
