19 November, 2006
Rich was feeling better but still quite sick. We told Mr Kim to fetch us later and so I went searching for drugs and breakfast. As I got back to the hotel Mr Kim and his family were already there waiting and ready to go. We left as soon as we could and we were on our way to the Korean Folk Village. We spent the entire day at the village walking around and looking at all the farmhouses, ceramic making and the tools that were used in the old days. We snacked a lot on real Korean titbits like chestnuts, Korean candy (which was delicious) and flavored rice cakes. Rich was loving the kids and throwing them around all over the show. The gardens were very pretty and the whole place was very interesting since we did not know too much about Korean History and way of life. We went for dinner to a Korean restaurant with typical food. We sat low on the floor and we cooked our meat again. All the Kumchi and pickles came with it and we were really full. The dessert was very interesting- tomatoes. We then went to Mr Kim’s apartment and had more snacks and beer shandy’s. We saw all their photos and chatted and laughed and the kids were so well behaved. It was a good evening and we were sad to leave Seoul (and Mr Kim and family – thanks for everything Mr Kim).
