Trip to Korea vol.2

On the third day, I went to Andong.

Andong is a traditional city, and it is the city with largest area in Korea.

I was really looking forward to going there.

Sightseeing in Andong was the main event for me.

The reason I went there was because I exchanged e-mails with a professional guide in Andong.

He can write Japanese very well and we exchanged emails in Japanese.

How did I know him?

One day I searched about traditional Korean culture on the Internet.

I wanted to stay at a traditional Korean house with a Korean family.

I accidentally found his web site in Japanese.

So I sent him an email and he repleid to me quickly.

Andong is a beautiful city and there is a famous village named “Andong Hahoe village“.

My guide was excellent and kind.

We talked about many topics on the way to sightseeing spots.

I thought he was like my father because his age was almost the same as my father.

And one of his children was the same age as me!

So I talked with him about my worries.

He advices me about many things. I was greatly touched by his kindness.

I had a lot of fun sightseeing.

But actualy sightseeing was not the main event for this trip.

I played the shamisen in a church.

To be continued.
