Hanbok!

Monday we went to the traditional village and it was really cool! Probably some of the best pictures I've gotten this trip! We walked around and saw a bunch of really cool traditional games being played with arrows, whips, and balls that were fun to play as well. The first thing we did was try on Hanbok which are traditional Korean outfits that they now only really wear on New Years. I picked out this beautiful burple and red-flower one and Tai picked out the emperor's robes (cool, right?) They both came with pretty silly hats too. His was straight up, barely stayed on, and looked sort of like a retro cop's hat. Mine looked like a larger version of a lampshade :p After a Hanbok photo-shoot, we played traditional Korean drums (and I can't remember the name but it started with a G) the instructor said that we were so good that we were true Koreans ;p We even got a huge crowd outside of the house we were playing in. They videotaped us and took pictures which was rather embarrassing! Fast forward to yesterday and it was when we went out ice skating in the morning! It's just the same as ice skating in America except you have to wear gloves to get in, and they set off a spot in the middle where all the amazing little girls can practice like pro's. We went to Hyundai department store for lunch and it...wasn't good at all. haha. The line was so large and our supporter had us share food. We got one bowl of bbimbap, some small bowls of soup, and 2 kimchi rolls for 4 of us. G ate the majority of the bbimbap and the kimbap had something in it that was making me sick...so I didn't really get to eat anything =[ I was very cranky at school to say the least :p Nothing too eventful happened after school, just went out with some Korean friends and had fun :p
