Korean Folk Village

Yesterday, we visited the Korean Folk Village in Yongin. This was a very expansive property, with over 200 traditional-style properties on display. We watched an old blacksmith forge iron to make tools, witnessed what jail and torture were like in the 19th century Korea and shared a few glasses of the traditional Korean rice wine, Makkoli. During a one-hour free period, Jake and I found an empty, open-air temple to relax in. Relax, being relative as there were over 10,000 school kids wildly running around the property for a joint picnic trip. As I laid in the temple, several kids used me as a hurdle during a game of chase. Not a bad day at all.
