Our last day is Seoul we visited a Korean Folk Village. It felt like a historical museum and a summer camp all in one. It was really cool! They had different performances like a man who walked on a tight rope, a traditional Korean wedding and a couple of others. I took some videos of one of the performances so you could get a feel for it. The picture is good but the sound quality is a little bad. But here they are, make sure to notice the ribbons attached to their hats:
And another, he has a super long ribbon:
i love their hats! the ones with the feather pom poms can spin around like the ribbon guys.

And here are some other photos from the folk village:
so many layers! it also reminded me of how Solvang used to have these kinds of roofs
the weaver, he is using straw to make a mat. pretty awesome
they made me put on the traditional back pack. i thought it was going to be heavy, but it was pretty light.
ive seen people still use these today in Korea! Its weird. Instead of a woven sack they will put a "shelf" at the bottom and stack things on it. People carry things on their back here, rather than lifting things in front of them like a dumb bell like we do in the States.
the blacksmith. the knives were for sale for cheap
the tight roper.
He would pretend like he was falling, and sit on the rope and bounce back up. he did this a number of times. It was a little entertaining.
And that was my weekend in Seoul. My favorite part was definitely the folk village, especially the music performance with the dancing. I hope you enjoyed it all. There are many more fun photos and adventures to come.
