On June 6, the owner of the company I am working for, David Kertzner, and I went to the Korean Folk Village in Suwon, about an hour by bus from Seoul. The village has a variety of small buildings showing typical houses and other buildings that were common in different parts of the country. As the brochure says, " Enjoy ancestors' lifestyles and get away back to memories!"The figures behind me in the first picture are a kind of totem meant to scare away bad spirits. The band, similar to a typical farmers' band that played at village holidays, was my favorite part of the day. The long white banners shown are attached to the crowns of their hats; they rotate their heads to make them move in time to the music.
