"At Seoul’s Gyeongbokgung Palace, I wore a hanbok and entered for free, immersing myself in the beauty of traditional Korean aesthetics. In Beijing’s Forbidden City, I walked until my legs ached, yet still hadn’t seen even half of its palaces and architectural details. At Tokyo’s Meiji Shrine, I was lucky enough to witness a solemn yet joyful Shinto wedding."
