Korea House.

A couple weeks ago, we got the chance to visit the Korea House in Seoul.  They created the Korea House to show visitors to Korea traditional dances and food.  We went with a tour group from the base.  We started with dinner - they had samples of so many kinds of Korean food including several types of rice, octopus tentacles, crab, and different desserts.  The food was so good, though I wasn't as adventurous as Ben - he even tried the octopus!  After dinner, we were treated to about an hour of traditional dances and drum performances.  During the last number, they pulled four people from the audience to dance with them and guess who got to go up - ME!!!  It was so much fun!  Pictures weren't allowed, but I'll never forget it!

Some of the performers came out afterward for pictures.  Their costumes were so pretty.


It was a nice look at the traditional Korean culture - something we'd recommend to any visitor to Seoul.  Hopefully we get to go again when family comes to visit.
