My uncle took me to an area called Minsokchon. It’s about an hour outside of Seoul. Here, it’s like an old, traditional Korea. If you see any movies or t.v. shows where they are placed in the past, they usually film here.
Right when we got there, we made it to see an older man walking on a rope and doing tricks. It was pretty amazing.
I forget what this is called, but here you lay down and you get smacked by the wooden sticks as punishment.
My uncle demonstrating how you should lay on it.
This one is apparently supposed to hurt a lot. you place the sticks in an X position and thenn start separating the legs. This girl shrieked in pain real quick. I myself, did not want to try it.
Prison.
Some life size manequinned people in the jail.
A game where you try to get the sticks in the pot.
A wheel barrel.
Not really sure what this is. I think it’s like an outside stove?
Some donkey-type animal? Not really sure. ha
I’m going to stop captioning now, because my captions are pretty terrible :/
Ok, that’s it from Minsokchon!

Kimi - wow….I think these are my favorite pics of Korea. This is what I’ve been waiting to see. There’s something so romantic about this town. I especially love the photo of the kimchi jars
