Cultural Activity

A few Saturdays back I attended what was billed as a festival for foreigners. Or something to that effect. Along with some entertainment, there was also ample opportunity to sample traditional Korean food and drink, and traditional games etc.
Here is an middle aged woman (아줌마 ) dressed in traditional dress (hanbok - 한복) serving up some pine needle-flavoured traditional alcohol called dong-dong-ju (동동주).
Here is John mixing up the most traditional of Korean foods, kimchi (김치).
Here is Rebecca smashing up some (glutinous?) rice in the way that rice cake (떡) was traditionally prepared.
Here is a shot of some of the entertainment. These happy characters are representing the police force whilst doing a little dance.
Finally we can see an older man (아저씨) just kinda hangin out on his wee bike. This is not an uncommon sight. Older men can often be seen touring around town on what seem to be kids' bikes such as this.
