Korean War Museum
This reminds me
of Bowser from Mario Bros.
One of the many replicas in Korean museums.
Palace during the Chosun Dynasty (I think).
You're looking at a North Korean soldier. I know, weird.
Farmers' crop performance. They did alot of these turns in the air. Couldn't capture them on picture well. And they twirled long string from their hats. Was pretty cool.
Went to a couple of Buddhist temples. The people wouldn't let anyone take pictures inside the temples, so I took one of these tower things. Once you build one you make a wish, but make sure you don't tell anyone. ----- This reminds me of a story our tour guide told us ----- There once were two sisters. One night, the younger sister dreamt that she climbed to the top of a mountain and peed; but the pee devoured the whole town surrounding the mountain. Now, in Korea back then, if one were to have a bad dream they would tell everyone they knew, but if they had a good dream they would tell no one; and get this- people bought dreams. (blasphemy?!?!!?) The younger sister didn't know if this was a good dream or not and so she told her older sister. Once realizing the meaning, the older sister bought the younger one's dream for a beeauuutiful hanbok. Fast forward (because I forget the details) and the older sister became queen. 
Left: At the end of each folk village tour, everyone had the opportunity to write out their wish on a piece of paper and tie it to a string. Once the townspeople burn them, then your wish is supposed to come true. My wish was for Tanzy.
