Hahoe Folk Village

We went to Hahoe Folk village yesterday.  We have meant to visit since we got to Korea, and this weekend was the Andong Maskdance Festival.  We got started late, so we didn't see any actual maskdancing.  We did see a farmer's dance.

The village is 600 years old.  It was established by a wealthy administrator, and his descendants still inhabit it.  There were a bunch of inns and restaurants in traditional houses.  We didn't go to any.  I'm not so good at sitting on the floor any more.  We took our neighbor with us, who takes much better pictures than me.

Rice paddies

Dirty statues!

The entrance to an inn.  Love the pumpkins.

A traditional house that someone lives in.

This is where the rich folk brought pleasure boats and read poetry.  Also known as the Nakdong River.

Bobby ties my shoe.  Jin thought this was fantastic.  I'm glad he wasn't laughing.
