Below are a few extra pictures I've been meaning to post. I'll post the rest in a future blog, but for now, this is what's uploaded. I've been having serious uploading problems, so bare with me. =) FYI - go to the bottom and scroll up - it will probably make more sense.
This boy is the apprentice, he did a number of tight rope acts, including walking like a nobleman (high kicking walk), and walking like a woman (all hips). He was really very good, and occasionally had the whole crowd fretting that he'd fall.
These girls are jumping on a seesaw (kids, don't try this at your local playground!). They would fly in the air and do tricks, even backflips. It is apparently great exercise. This was strictly a woman's exercise, and as the folk legend would have it, if a girl didn't do this enough she wouldn't be able to have babies. Interesting, huh?
Not sure the name of these flowers, but they are crushed and made into a kind of dye for fingernails. If only I could get a manicure from my garden here in the states. (of course that would require me getting some type of green living plant to survive!)
Tanya, this picture is for you. This is a Korean dog. There is a specific breed of dog native to Korea. They're known for their loyalty - in that the saying goes that "they are a dog of one owner".
This is a monument to a family. If a particular family did something really amazing, the village would make a monument to it. (Hopefully, I got that right Sunny!).
Entrance to the Traditional Korean Folk Village. It's a distance from Seoul (about a 45 - 50 mins from Sejong by bus), but well worth the trip!
Seoul Tower. This shot is from the street behind the hotel. You can just look up there and see the tower!
Kimchi or Soy sauce pots! These were outside the tea house where we enjoyed the best tea! This little gem of a place is in the Insadong market. It's down a little alley across from a famous Man Doo shop. Sorry I can't be more specific for those who will be traveling - but, I'd definitely check it out if your in Seoul. Even I liked the tea (and I'm not a tea person). Thanks Mike & Sunny!
Our kind, amazingly generous, wonderfully knowledgeable, and darn good looking friends who so graciously showed us around Seoul. Thank you Thank you Thank you and Camsam nee da!
