11 September 2011, Dyana, Ezani, Izzat, Akmar and two Russian friends (Thuyana and Sarra) went to Seoul. We met Hanyang University students which are Wan, Shafiq, and Wafi (from BMI). Our lovely lecturer Miss Gibb and Miss Idd joined us on that memorable day..
Namsangol Hanok Village
The Namsangol Hanok Village offers one the opportunity to experience a wide cross-section of Joseon-era
citizenry and activities, from royalty to commoners. A great effort has
been made to accurately furnish each dwelling with appropriate era and
social status appointments.
A traditional Korean style garden, complete with a flowing stream and
pavilion was constructed on the site in order to revive the classical
feel of the Joseon-era. Five traditional houses, including some of the
residences of high government officials - some of the largest mansions
in Seoul at the time, along with commoners houses were moved to the
7,934 sq Meters/9,489 sq Yards grounds containing the restored village.
This village has five restored traditional
Korean houses and a pavilion,
a pond and a time capsule, which make it a perfect spot to take a
walk.On the side you will see
five traditional houses. These houses were rebuilt after the traditional
houses of Joseon Dynasty and belong to those of various social classes,
ranking from peasants to the king.
The visitor can try the harvest festival to do the traditional methods of Korean on processing Soy beans, etc. All of us try to do so. all around the Hanok Village having booth for entertainment, craft, and make traditional mask by own-self.

You can also have traditional tea and refreshments.
The furniture in the house is
situated to help guests understand the daily life of the past, and the
clean, traditional houses and their antique items.
If you would like to check out some souvenirs, stop by the
traditional craft-work exhibit where you can buy small dishes and other
items.
On the
grounds, there are traditional games you may try such as 'neolttwigi'
(sea-saw jumping), 'tuho'(arrow throwing) and 'yunnori' (traditional
game of throwing wooden yut sticks).
