Suwon fun

I went to Suwon on Sat with Emily, Emily's friend, Meredith, Don, Don's friend, and our German friends we met in Cheju. We had a great day doing random cultural things. We spent much of the day at the Korean Folk Village-- basically a place where they have a lot of traditional buildings and recreate the way that things were. There are also shows, games, and an amusement park on the grounds. We wandered around, took a million pictures, played on the frozen river, watched an equestrian show, and had a lot of fun. Then we went to the city's fortress (old stone walls from the 1600s that surrounded the city and a fortress on a mountain). GREAT views from the top. After dinner by a beautiful gate, we caught the train back to Daejeon. Overall a really good day of winter and cultural fun.
