Jeonju

We arrived in Jeonju without a hostel, none were listed on the Internet, however we were able to find a place near the bus station for only 25,000 Won a night!(thats about $20 and about what we had paid for a hostel). We dropped off our bags and headed out. We ran into an English teacher that told us to head to Hanok villiage, a traditional Korean village.

De Gwangju salimos para Jeonju, un pueblo antiguo de Corea.
Esta vez fuimos sin ninguna reserva pero fue muy facil conseguir donde quedarnos.



Our motel-with a TV with lots of English shows!
Some random building Agustin liked!

Right after Agustin took this picture an old Korean man asked to take my picture....he had a very big camera and got right up in my face. Then he took a few with Agustin. He asked for my address to send us the pictures, so look mom and dad, they might be arriving!

This is where one of the kings lived for a period of time, it was located up on a hill overlooking the whole city.
