Toy museum in Insa-dong

I discovered this awesome toy store/museum in Insa-dong....every toy imaginable!



Insa-dong

I simply love the atmosphere in Insa-dong... pebbled roads lined with curios like these... art galleries galore and quaint little restaurants down alleys..


Traditional Korean Folk Village (3)

We saw a performance of a traditional Korean wedding...


Traditional Korean Folk Village (2)

This area showed us how crime and punishment was carried out back in the day. There were costumes to try on. Here's my mum & Angelina's son dressed as 'policemen'.



Traditional Korean Folk Village (1)

On Sunday, August 3 2008 my very good friend and former co-teacher/manager took my mum & I to a traditional Korean Folk Village in Suwon. Everything in it is as if it was many years ago... traditional pharmacy, traditional homes... it was such an awesome day, but mum & I were exhausted after walking so much in the heat...

This is how they ironed clothes - banging these wooden sticks onto the clothing....


Trying to grind something, but hit his head instead!



Around Seoul City Hall subway...

Thingy-majiggy to put out your cigg butt!




Nanta ~ What's cookin'?


For the second time round, I saw NANTA - a non-verbal performance where they use kitchen utensils and appliances to make music. It was breathtaking and my mum, friend and I love love loved it...
