When in Seoul, I visited the Changddokkung Palace, a main palace of Choson Dynasty (also known as Yi Dynasty, 1392-1910).  Main terrace inside the palace.  The stone tablets on both sides indicate the ranking of officials.  When they gathered for moring briefings, they lined up accoring to their ranks by the stone tablets.  The meperor would sit on the stage to be brieved.

Steve Kim, Melanie, and Bill, my South Korean hosts in Seoul.  I stayed with the family for 6 days.  They are one of many volunteer families in a home-stay program in South Korea.  Visitors from all over the world can contact the director and stay with the family for free during their visit.   The Kim family speak English and very nice and considerate people.  They also have a daughter named Cindy.
