korea - day3 - korean folk village

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

one of my favorite places to visit as a kid was minseokchun (korean folk village). for the americans the closest analogy would be... korean version of williamsburg colonial village. it's also where they taped various korean period tv shows like "daejanggeum". it doesn't sound very exciting. why would this be such ...
