I'm still catching up on all the beautiful photos from our Donghae weekend. When we left Donghae to drive back to Jungwon we took a scenic route stopping at two famous traditional Korean houses that are now museums. We got to see the layout of a courtyard style house, see the kitchen with its giant rice pots. I'm afraid I would've been more interested if I wasn't quite so tired and sunburnt at the time. Mostly I remember everything was much smaller, the doors, the rooms, the general space, than we expect today.
