민속촌: Traditional Korean village and K-drama filming spot
민속촌 means “folk village,” and there are only a few of them in Korea. The most popular Korean folk village is located in Yong-in City (용인시), which is south of Seoul.
A 민속촌 offers us a glimpse into traditional Korean life. There are old-style Korean buildings, arts and crafts displays, performances, and more. You could visit for an hour or spend the entire afternoon, and there are plenty of interesting things to do and see for everyone.
Check out the video below for a guided tour of Korea’s most popular 민속촌!

What Does Your Blood Type Mean in Korea? (Q&A #11)
Did you know that Koreans associate personalities with blood types? Depending on your blood type (A, B, O, and AB) you might be perceived by some Koreans as having a certain personality.
Type A Blood: Kind to others, but a perfectionist and introvert.
Type B Blood: Creative and passionate, but irresponsible, selfish, and lazy.
Type O Blood: Confident and expressive, but egotistical and risk takers.
Type AB Blood: Rational and calm, but critical of others and indecisive. Possibly a genius or a psychopath.
For a disclaimer, I don’t believe that blood types influence people’s personalities, but it is useful to know these when in Korea. It’s also fun to ask a Korean to guess your blood type, and see if they can correctly do it or not.

I try eating grilled intestines~! A popular Korean food (곱창)
곱창 ("gopchang") is intestines, and they're grilled right in front of you at the table while you wait. The smell is a bit strong, and their appearance isn't too... well, appealing, but isn't food all about how it makes you feel when you eat it? If you're looking for a fun and new culinary experience, look no further than 곱창.
