A Korean acquaintance invited me to visit the place where he grew up. This particular house is over 400 years old and is the ancestral home of his family. It is undergoing renovation. The second picture is of the family crypt.
It was good to get out of the city and to see the Korean countryside. The fields are fairly small because the country is so mountainous. They were in the middle of harvesting rice. As in many countries the rural population in Korea is declining. It's difficult to make much money farming.
