Last weekend (I've finally caught up), was a festival at the local folk village in Asan. S and T were there sampling their special makgeolli with their academy. It was fun to wander around - there were scarecrows everywhere dressed up like people, there were straw games (tunnel and slide - I both all of them), they were sending little paper boats with wishes down a stream, there were corn ball things, and then we made our own makgeolli! (I still don't know if mine is finished yet...? It's been fermenting for a week and looks the exact same.) After we mixed our own, we sampled more mak (my favorites were S's apple cinnamon and a cardamum), cooked some meat over the fire, and played funny games with everyone. We then slept on the floor of the hanok! Heated floor with pad and very very flat pillow. Met some very cool people! To get home: taxi to Onyang station, coffee (necessary), subway back to Shinchang, and walk back to apartment.. It took a while.
Results of our mak photo shoot (Thanks, S).
Happy.
