Over the last week I did a little farmstay in rural Korea. It was at a small family-run organic farm that grows chili peppers and sesame leaves and other vegetables. They also had two kids that were sometimes difficult to be around but still had lots of fun. They're actually people from Seoul but they decided to leave the city and run a farm.
Bus ride:
It was nice to see mountains again. I got there in the evening and we had pizza and beer.
The next day was picking peppers but first one of the kids gave me a little tour and took me to this stream:
Cold! But super clean.
About to go pick some peppers!!! Looking awesome in farmer gear with host sister (how old do you think she is?)

Took a drive into town to mail off a package of peppers. Another farm on a pretty day.
The farm owners had some family friends visit while I was there. It was fun and they were nice, but it was kind of sucky to share one bathroom among nine people. The dad in the visiting family had the gall to blow dry his hair in the bathroom after taking his time showering while I was desperately waiting outside to shower myself.
But we did go on a nice hike. A nearby mountain has a "sky bridge" and we took a slow easy hike up there. We picked some veggies to eat for lunch. Picking a tomato:
