Today, we took a USO trip to the Korean Folk Village. This is a picture of the Farmer's Music and Dance performance.
We were able to see Korean food, clothing, and housing styles from the past. There were many artisans working their handicraft skills in pottery, basket and bamboo weaving, paper making, and other traditional arts. 
There were all sorts of unexpected moments lurking here - especially at the woodcarvers booth. One surprise was in the garden. Here I am with a small crop of Hemp. We contemplated pinching off a small souvenir to laminate and mail to my mother but figured that could easily get out of hand. We are too close to leaving for an international incident.
