Last week I went to a Hanok village with my friend!  Hanok are traditional Korean Houses.  The Hanok in this village are home to a lot of museums, traditional tea houses, and shops. Most of them are also normal residences. 

My friend and I stopped at traditional tea house. You have to take your shoes off outside and you sit on the floor with cushions. We ordered Lotus Flower Tea and it cost about 8,000KRW (~8$) which seems expensive for a cup of tea but taking in the cultural experience factor, this was definitely worth that money and was definitely a memorable experience for me.
 

There was a beautiful garden in the courtyard of the house.
