Today, in Marie story we went Namsan Hanok Village. Namsan Hanok Village is a beautiful place together with a view together with hanoks and Namsan tower. Namsan Hanok Village contains hanoks and traditional playings.

     First, we saw 5 hanoks. Kim Chun Yeong's house, Lee Seoung Ub's house, Park Yeong Hyo's hosue, Sunjeong's father in law's hosue, and finally Yun Taek Yoeong's house. By view, nothing seems to be different. However, if you look closely at those hanoks. You can see the difference. Some houses are a little higher than others, some have the roof a little longer than others. Also, some are shaped ¤§,but some are shaped like ¤¤. You can say that this is also a charm of hanok because it seems all the same, but actually they are different with each other. We can see also that hanoks have a shrine always at the left side of the house. This was there because Koreans think there ancestors very highly so they would make a shrine inside there house to always think about and obey their ancestors.

     Second, we saw things used in living. Such as Jang dok de. When I first saw Jang dok de I thought why do we need this. It looks to heavy. However, by thinking again because there were no refrigerators at that time, it was a very good 'system' at that time. However, one thing that was bad about Jang dok de was that it was too heavy and it breaked so easily. We also saw Juk bu in which was used to make us cool at summer. Juk bu in was good at making us cool, but that breaked too easily too.

     By seeing Namsan Hanok Village, I got to feel hanok's charm, together with how scientific Korean people were in living. I think hanok shows a lot of Korean's mind by house.
