Hanok Village in Jeonju

Today, my orientation class went on a field trip to Hanok Village in Jeonju, South Korea. The same city in which we are having our orientation, which is held at Jeonju University. This was a nice break from the week of classes and lectures we had to attend. I believe Jeonju is a 3-4hr bus ride south of Seoul.

Above are silkworms that someone told me to try. I'm always up for doing something once but I regretted it. It was disgusting and instead of quickly swallowing it, I spit it out. Tasted horrible.

This beautifully carved piece of wood was tempting to buy but it was a bit out of my price range. I think it cost 800,000 won ~ $700 USD.

I don't know the specifics but these gentlemen were making a fine paper that is used to bury people in. It's a very durable paper that can act like cloth.
