About two months ago, I went to a Yongin Traditional Village, which was build to replicate the old-time villages in Korea and to teach about Korean heritage. It was a little cold that day, but I had lots of fun. There was also an amusement park section. Those traditional villages had it all!

There were a few tall rocks and some trees with rope tied to them for you to write down a wish and then tie the paper to the rope. There were thousands of wishes, it looked really amazing. |
|
There must have been many gateways in the days of yore if this village taught me anything. |
|
"In the past, parents used to send their children to their neighbors after putting a winnowing basket on their heads to correct their habbit of wetting the bed." What?! How would public humiliation correct bed wetting? |
|
I bet that most people didn't smile when they had to carry this thing. |
|
This was a game in which people try to land a dowel vertically into a series of rings. It was more fun to watch that to play. |
|
This picture doesn't show how truly colorful this was, but it was pretty amazing. |
|
Here is a detail of the gate thing from the previous picture. |

What traditional village would be complete without THE VIKING?!? We went on this SO many times (as you can see, it was not crowded). |
|
This little boy sat by me on this ride, and then sat by me or my friends for maybe 5 other rides (his mom didn't want to go on the rides). He was so cute! Also, as you can see, I taught him the roller coaster pose of my people! One of my proudest achievements! |
