Around Yeongcheon

Today was the first actually cold day by my standards, so in honor of the beginning of winter, I'll post the pictures I took around Yeongcheon during the summer and fall. One of the things I'll miss the most about Korea is its beauty, especially the greenness of Yeongcheon. It's sad to know that my remaining months won't be able to give me that. But at least we'll always have Paris. Or rather, these pictures.

Dong-Yun's Wedding / Halloween

My friend Dong-Yun was married on Halloween weekend, and since she got married near Seoul, it provided me with the opportunity to go up to Seoul for the weekend before Halloween and then down to the wedding before school started again on Monday.

Here is Dong-Yun and her husband posing with me. After the wedding, the bridal couple change into fancy hanboks and go around the buffet hall greeting and thanking people. We only got a moment together, since they were busy, but at least I got this picture!

Hanbok

So, since my hobby is sewing and I have a passion for pretty dresses, I knew as soon as I came to Korea that getting a hanbok, preferably made by me, was a goal of mine. And now that goal has been accomplished! Actually, it's been done for awhile, but I'm just getting a chance to post the pictures.

Actually, I stole this photo off of Facebook. It's one Hye-Jin took of me at Parents' Day at school, where I was convinced to greet parents while wearing it. I think most of the parents just wondered what the heck a crazy foreigner in a hanbok was doing there, but it was ok.
More photos after the cut.
