Korea 2011: Suwon Folk Village: Another Enchanting Custom

The Suwon Folk Village was quite an experience.  I will attempt to cover the various aspects that we saw, starting with and enchanting custom which occurs at the entrance to the village.  There is a table where one can get strips of natural paper.  There is a pen, and there is a donation box.  One can write messages and then do this:

Messages tied to a tree

I did four.  Here is the one that I did for Isy:

For Isy

Isy, I know, will love this.  She is sentimental, as I am.  I suspect that those that I did for others might be regarded as sentimental and silly, so I'll keep them for myself.  I know I did it with a lot of love in my heart.  It is enough for me that those little messages will remain there until the paper disintegrates and becomes part of the land of the village.
