Olympic Tiger. I have him at home

Folk Village salt water taffee maker

Demo of Korean Wedding Ceremony

Korean Tiger magpie and pine tree.
Pine tree = symbol of first month of the year
magpie bringer of good news and Tiger who chases away evil spirits.
The Ajaeng is a string instrument with strings of twisted silk.
A stick made out of forsythia wood is scraped against the strings like a bow. The instrument has 7 strings. Some have up to 9 strings.It sounds like a cello

    The weather is just the same. And they have so many pine trees.
