I had the great pleasure to join the King Jeongjo Parade Reenactment on Saturday the 5th of October. Sadly due to the weather, the path of the parade was slightly changed so we had not the possibility to cross the Han River. Nevertheless, the event was still a lot of fun. After arrival, we "traveled back in time" and changed our clothes against a traditional Joseon Dynasty attire. It was interesting to see so many expats in the same dress.

Since we were located quite at the end of the parade we had the possibility to see the parade passing by. I was surprised how huge this parade was, on their website is written that this year's parade had over 4842 participants.

Then we formed our rows and started the walk to Seoul Station, it was a nice experience since all the people in the street were waving to us and we walked on a street which is normally quite busy. 

 

After arrival at Seoul Station, we took the Joseon Confucian Examination. It was not that easy, to be honest, but still very interesting and enjoyable. I am really curious about my result - but probably it was not that good :D.

After 4 nice hours, we had our delicious lunch box before we were heading home.

 

It was definitely a nice experience and I guess with the right weather and the original path it would even be more fun. Recommend to join next year!
