Five Grand Palaces

Fact #8 Korea is old. One thing this means is that there are plenty of cool old buildings. Pictured here is Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of the Five Grand Palaces. Gyeongbokgung (in English meaning "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven") originally was built in 1394. It's been rebuilt since then. (borrowed from  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea )
