Hi Justin,

I know your site is primarily for your amazing themes, but I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy the added bonus of being able to read about your life in Korea. These photos are great. I hope you post more soon!

I’m not sure if there was any symbolism in the washing. I’m sure there was, but I couldn’t understand what people were saying since everything was in Korean. The village basically just shows traditional Korean life from long ago.

I’ll have to check out that movie sometime.

Thanks. Now, if I could only start taking photos as well as you do…

Very cool photos. The perspective you chose for “Eating Wheat” mixed with her reaction created a really great shot.

Thank you very much for sharing these photographs! I was intrigued by the picture showing people washing their faces (and hair?) with warm water and was wondering if there was some kind of symbolism behind this.
Is the Korean Folk Village an open air museum about Korean traditions?
I recently saw a beautiful (and very moving) Korean film on Dutch television called Jibeuro (The way home in English). It showed life in a hamlet high up in the mountains, very remote in so many aspects from Seoul.

Yeah, it’s pretty traditional. It was definitely different since the area I live in is more of a mix of Western and Eastern culture.

I actually slipped a little in the water and splashed it on my sister while we were walking across.

Well, it didn’t smell like a beautiful place. A lot of it was very nice though.

You’re welcome! Once I get Project M launched, I hope to start sharing a bit more about my personal life here on the blog and letting you all see more of Korea.

Ill, ee, sam, sa, o, yuke, chill, pal, goo, ship.

That’s 1 – 10 in Korean. Of course, there’s another numbering system too.

It’s always interesting to see pictures from these far off places. Thanks for sharing Justin!
