This photo is me at Busa Sanseong. We walked around here for about an hour and a half. It was very hot here, but it was windy, so it wasn't that bad. We went to where the palace girls jumped off, which is called Nakkwa Amm. It was really cool to actually see the place. I've only seen it in books. It is kind of sad that the palace girls had to die because the king had died. They could have done much more stuff instead of being at the palace their whole life. I'm glad I wasn't born back then.
