Minsok Chun (\ubbfc\uc18d\ucd0c<\/strong>) is a Korean folk village in Youngin (\uc6a9\uc778<\/strong>) province.\u00a0 It’s a living museum of how Korean people lived; way before any\u00a0contact with foreign nations.\u00a0 If you go to Minsok Chun (\ubbfc\uc18d\ucd0c<\/strong>), you’ll get to see what Korean people did and how they spent their time.\u00a0 This is the age before television, so imagine a time before central plumbing and electric heating and you get Minsok Chun (\ubbfc\uc18d\ucd0c<\/strong>).\u00a0 If you go to Minsok Chun (\ubbfc\uc18d\ucd0c<\/strong>) for the Deborum (\ub300\ubcf4\ub984<\/strong>) festival, you’ll see a wonderful parade with all sorts of traditional entertainment.<\/p>\n

Minsok Chun (\ubbfc\uc18d\ucd0c<\/strong>) is a museum with a wealth of knowledge.\u00a0 They have various workshops where you can see how everything was made by hand.\u00a0 For example, I’d recommend the pottery workshop.\u00a0 You’ll see the actual ovens potters used to make porcelain bowls and cups.\u00a0 The pots have a green-blue color to them when they are done baking in the kilns.\u00a0 These pots are called bunchong sagi (\ubd84\uccad\uc0ac\uae30<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

There’s also a worksop demonstrating the way paper was made a long time ago.\u00a0 You get to see each and every step including the part where the paper maker boils some water and adds some tree bark and dakpul (\ub2e5\ud480<\/strong>).\u00a0 Dakpul (\ub2e5\ud480<\/strong>) is a type of grass where it is mixed with water to form a pulp, which is then dried to make paper.<\/p>\n

Lastly, there’s also a candy workshop where yot (\uc5ff<\/strong>) is made.\u00a0 Yot (\uc5ff<\/strong>) is a brown taffy colored candy made from rice and other grains.\u00a0 You can see how it’s made and buy some to taste as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Admission to minsok chun (\ubbfc\uc18d\ucd0c<\/strong>) is around 10 U.S. dollars for adults, $7 for seniors and and $6 for children.\u00a0 I suggest going on special holidays and festivals because they usually have some kind of extravagent show prepared for special occasions.<\/p>\n

Minsok chun (\ubbfc\uc18d\ucd0c<\/strong>) is an educational, but a fun experience.\u00a0 Just go there, and you’ll see what I mean!\u00a0 That’s it for today guys!\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
