We LOVED Korea and totally agree that it is way under-rated as a destination! (But, then again – shhh – don’t tell anyone or it’ll be overrun with tourists!) We actually have a pair of those Hahoe masks hanging on our wall. Our 19-month-old daughter identified the male one with the huge nose as “Mama” the other day…sigh…

I love these photos! I haven’t had the chance to go to Asia yet, but I’m really looking forward to it. I love the style of Asian art so it’s a treat seeing a photo of real street art there.

As a travel destination, in my opinion, Korea is underrated, and depending on whether you go East, South or West (North’s not an option) you will enjoy a different experience! Seoul is a great option, too!

Thanks, Amy. The masks to which you refer are called Hahoe masks (Hahoetal) and are used in Hahoe Tal Chum (a dramatic dance) in one of Korea’s most traditional folk plays.

Love the facial expression from the mask. From sad to happy.

This is a beautiful picture! I loved South Korea and would love to go back. I never actually spent time in Seoul, but when I make it back there, I would love to check this place out.
