Life on the farm

This past weekend Joe and Naomi and I were invited to come out to Soowan Kim's (a friend from Seattle) parent's farm house. It was basically a large acreage with extensive gardens, fruit trees and running-around space. We shot a few hoops, did some running around, sang karaoke (norebang) watched the fire of the dried up weeds being burned up, ate barbecue, stayed up late. It was very fun and relaxing and somehow at the same time we were exhausted when we got back. Here are some pictures. The fruit pictured is a persimmon, which is a common fall fruit here and which I'd never tried before. Delicious. I think the pots are for making kimchi, but I never got around to asking. The little spring/waterfall is blocked up when it's really hot in summer and the family sits around the table eating watermelon.
