Folk Village

Yesterday we had the day off work for memorial day, so a bunch of us went to the folk village in Yongin. It was pretty cool and a lot bigger than I expected. We walked around for several hours and I don't think we saw most of it. The best part was that they had these shows, there was a farmer's music and dance show, a see-saw show, a tight rope walker and a horse show. My favourite was of course the horse show. It was crazy, it was just one small ring and they'd have one or two horses in at a time, and the riders were basically acrobats, doing all sorts of tricks while they were riding. The tightrope walking was pretty cool too. One other interesting thing was that there were two women taking the silk off of silk worms, that was interesting. I knew they did it but I never really knew how.

This week I finally went to this cute little restaurant near my house called Il Blu. It's just this gorgeous little cafe that makes me really happy and it's like a minute away from my house. I just went there again this morning - they have french toast!!! I was so excited when I was french toast on the menu, I knew I had to go back this weekend. Finally a proper breakfast, now if only they had bacon.
