Today our landlords...I think we can now officially call them friends.....took us to the Korean Folk Village, which is a sort of historical amusement park about 30 minutes from our house. We saw traditional villages, farm houses, bazaars, museums that described Korean history and culture. We watched acrobats, folkdancers and drummers, a traditional wedding ceremony, paper making.......and so much more. We ate lunch at an outdoor market, and yes, Heath ate noodle soup. Our hosts were so gracious and insisted on paying our way for everything. I read in my Korean Culture Shock book that it is customary for the inviter (?) to pick up the tab. We have invited them to our house for Will's birthday party so hopefully we'll be able to make up for it! They are so proud of their heritage and eager to share it with us. It was a great day! We're going to 'Everland' in 2 weeks - they compare it to Disneyland.
