For Chuseok (Korean "thanksgiving") a group of friends traveled to the green tea growing region in the Korean peninsula's southwest corner. Above is a picture of the perfectly manicured green tea terraces. Had no idea that tea plants are essentially plain bushes.
A tomb located amongst the tea plants.
Friends walking up into the terraced rows of tea.
Dragonflies were everywhere. Caught this guy sunning himself.
Looking into the canopy of a stand of bamboo the tea plantation keeps for wedding photo ops.
We stayed a "pension". Kind of like a bed and breakfast. Had a big room with lots of pillows/blankets/mats and a basic kitchen. At night we cooked in half drum barbeques and enjoyed some soju in the tent roofed building in the foreground.
The pension from below, Becky and Justin stand in front of our first floor room.
A cadre of old guys playing a dice game and drinking on the station platform as we waited for our train.
