My mom is from Daegu, so while she was in Korea she went to meet up with her brother and sister. And she also met up with her friends.
I met up with my mom while she was down there, because I haven’t met up with my aunts and uncles since I’ve been to Korea. (I know, I’m really bad. I haven’t visited my grandma either- on my dad’s side. I will be doing that this weekend).
Anyways, I met her at Pahlgong mountain. One of my mom’s friend’s has a house there. And let me tell you, it was really nice. Their guest house- yes guest house, is bigger than a typical apartment in Seoul.
This is the main house. I didn’t get to go in. I only took a picture of it.
A view of the guest house from the main house.
A closer view of the guest house.
The guest house was originally the main house. Then they decided to build a bigger home and made the original house into a guest house. The guest house is 2 stories as well. The bottom level is an exercise room. It’s not tai chi room, but another type of asian exercise.
These are views from the guest house.
My mom and her friends from when she was in school. These ladies were pretty funny.
That’s it from the mountain. going from Seoul (little tiny apartments in high rise buildings) and going to the mountains in Daegu is such a different experience. You would never really think that there are houses like this in this small country.
