Changing weather..

There was a heavy snow this afternoon. It came suddenly and really heavily. The whole world was blured.. Big snowflake was falling. Snow was dancing with wind. After shotly snowing, the weather was getting fine. It shows another amazing scene of the world. Thank for Kita's Photos ^^

Trip to Hahoe folk village4-Inside the village

"Hahoe Maeul" got this name because it is surrounded by a river. The village keeps Korea traditional style well. Touring in Hahoe village seems having a tour in "real" Korea. hehe Some wooden sculptures caught my eyes. People made human features on trunks, and especially exaggerate the genitals. It is quite interesting. The photo bellow is the heating system of the house. People cook outside, while the heated air will go under the house to warm the floor. It is a really energy saving way. The mysterious rope hang from the roof. Now, you know the rope's function^^. It helps people to keep balance when they get off the floor and put on their shoes. An interesting application of User-Centered Design:P
