Throw back in time - Jenny was a fantastic guide. The ride out from the city was just under one hour but she gave a good historical background of S. Korea on the way. And when at the Folk Village, she was great at explaining the cultural aspect of this Joseon dynasty village. There is no history test at the end but you would ace it because Jenny was so engaging.
