Korea Bound

A picture is better than a thousand words.

Wednesday, June 25, 6:42 am--Korea
Tuesday, June 24, 5:43 am--Michigan

I am going to try to upload a bunch of pictures for you. Kari and I both brought our cameras, but I haven't taken one picture on mine yet. Kari has been snapping left and right! (Besides, her camera is a bit better than mine, as I didn't take the big one!)

On the way to the Folk Village today we stopped at park and our Korean guide told us we must go see the toilet. "Very beautiful!" She was serious. The Korean government has agency called the Korean Toilet Association. They held a summit meeting in Seoul last year to figure out ways to make the highway rest areas more attractive! These are some pictures from that toilet!


Mommy and Toddler toilets!!


The outside of the toilet lets you know if it is
vacant or occupied.

A little scene in the restroom to keep
you occupied while you are waiting.

Each stall also had an "etiquette bell". I will try to explain it in our guides words--when you are in the bathroom and need to "drop" and it might be particularly noisy, push the etiquette bell. Pretty music or fake flushing sounds with play so you have no need to feel embarrassed! Our bus was rolling on the floor laughing as she turned beet red trying to explain it! She was laughing so hard she could hardly get the words out!
