This evening my co teacher treated me to a night at the Gyeongju art centre. We watched a traditional korean performance about a queen.who was celebrating her 60th birthday during the Joseon Dynasty . Im no historian so I cannot give you an exact dates of the JOseon dynasty but basically an era that was a good couple of hundred years ago and the era where women were merely seen bit never heard.
As the entire performance was in Korean I had no clue about what was going on other than that the queen was celebrating her birthday, but that did not matter . The heavenly melodic sounds of the traditional Korean instruments , the beautiful Korean decor on stage and the beautifully tailored traditional men's clothing paired with the vivid colors of the women hanbocks made me.feel like I had been transported back in time.
One of my favourite aspects about Korea is the wonderful deep rooted traditions. I find them so fascinating and beautiful. From tea ceremonies , to bowing , traditional Korean dances and much more.
Korean culture is something that I admire greatly and believe that we can all learn something from this wonderful country.
