I started after getting up very late before 1 pm to my date at the Hwanghakjeoung for my archery training. The Gyeongbokgung subway station, where I get out, has some funny art elements, which I wanted to shoot since long time.

The archery training room at the Hwanghakjeoung is quite spacy and decorated with different bows from all over the world. The training arrows are fixed to a rope, therefore cannot hit roof or wall. Helpful to control ones position is the mirror on the front of the room. Today I learned a lot on the right position. Not easy to control the body for several different movements, which are necessary to tension the bow properly.

After the trainig I was invited for a Tibetanian tee, a chai with milk and different spices. The cosy tea house supports Tibetanian refugees and beneath the tea house is a shop with Tibetanian arts and crafts. Now I have my first Tibetanian jews harp!
Following photos are some architectural impressions of Chebu-Dong, an area with fine architecture style mix and many restaurants. All on my way back to the subway - somehow circuitous certainly.
