In the weekend Woogi and I took a trip out to Suwon where there is a Korean Folk village. It was the first warm spring day that we have had and it was a really nice day. A lot of the village has been used as settings for Korean TV period dramas, watched and loved by many - not understood by me! There were planty of chickens in the backyards and activities going on which made you feel that you had stepped back in time and of course lots of overpriced souvenairs!
This woman was spinning cotton. Cotton balls are surprisingly soft.
There were special performances put on during the day. This guy did a lot of tightrope tricks. There is a Korean movie called the King and the clown that made this performance popular.
The peasants dance (farmers). A lot of noise on drums and other percussion instruments and some beutiful swinging of long ribbons atop hats.
Aside from the performances you could play traditional games. These girls are enjoying a swing.
This crazy woman was having fun on the seesaw. I had a go to but I didn't do very well. I think once you get the rhythm of it it must be fun.
One of the horses from the equestrian show. He had such a nice smile I had to get a snap.
A friend of ours, Sang Duk has a ceramics studio and he invited us over to make something. It was a lot of fun.
Mmm. I wonder who made this?
My unfired vase. We have to go back to glaze them.
