Filming at the Korean Folk Village

I thought it would be a good idea to take one of my students who accepted my offer to do a piece on here to the '민속촌', or Korean Folk Village.

I visited one once, and it's mostly a simple place. A few huts, a few shops, and a nice look back into what Korea once was. Because of it's simplicity, I figured it wouldn't cost more than a few bucks to enter the place. I was wrong. If you haven't been to a Korean Folk Village recently, allow me to enlighten you: prepare to shell out about $14 American per person. So $28 to film a good piece on education (because I'm a gentleman), and it was raining the entire time.

Anyway, the point is not to complain about the price. The young lady was brave to tell her story. She's someone with a secret that most everyone who shares a similar secret would never want the general public to know. I couldn't believe her courage, because she opened her heart and let me film the entire thing. She hasn't had the most success educationally in her life, mostly because of a educational system that caters mostly to auditory learners and test-takers. Furthermore, her mother has done mostly nothing but put pressure on her for most of her life.

Long story short, it was a good idea to go there. They are going to have to lower that price though if they ever want me to return. And, when her story is ready I'll be posting it right away, because it'll be a good I reckon.

In the meantime, here's another good one for ya.

Keep the faith.
