took me uh 15 minutes with a taxi to get here and uh this is it this uh it's over so according to their website this is from the 18th century but obviously it looks like it has been uh renovated and

horse the height St yeah or the height of the gate I see I see yeah but but so we don't have horse anymore no horses in here anymore okay so we don't use that do anymore so obviously many houses here

customers it's dry SAA traditional can I walk in like this yes yes you can have a 30 minutes experience here I was just about to ask where does the heat come from but it comes from this so there not I didn't turn on turn on the floor and the and also that one as well yeah all right but yeah the floor here is hot hot as well so something heating under here yeah under here all right all right every korean house has got old house has that heating system like that and how would they heat that up back in the day like with fire or I used to be use the fire in there this is traditional fire and then through the heating system there nowadays we use only hot water I see I see so once you once you fire this up right here yeah the uh is going under the floor and then you have a sa okay that's interesting so you have an ancient uh SAA culture yeah yeah okay Co so you can have a 30 minutes you can book for our stuff any stuff I would like to do that yeah yeah I also read on your website you had some kind of alcohol yes yeah like you could explain with some traditional I would like to try that too man what a place huh just show some of the details here what about this Korean no no this is all from the the Josan Dynasty uh they used the Chinese character how long ago would that be uh I'm not sure but we have the hunger Korean character we the king SE made this one hung but before that we used the Chinese character ah I didn't know that so the Korean characters are more sorry could you hold this for a second yes it's not easy so my shoes are so tight so I didn't know that so you the Korean characters are are more modern more new right yeah the Chinese characters are older been older yeah how many hundreds of years are the Korean characters H I'm not sure not sure okay I'm asking so many questions here what about this one what's this I think it's a small pond a small pond yeah but usually we have the big pond in there but in the winter time we don't use the P but I didn't put the water in there because in the winter time it will be ice there yeah all right so you would have some a pond and some some Goldfish or something here yes the spring and during the fall interesting so now there's no Pond can I go in there and see the characters you can all right Harold investigates empty Pond yeah let me guess Chinese characters yes yes yeah yes oh man oh man okay okay I'm going to stop hating on the on the Chinese characters this um everything it's it's quite beautiful I think yeah do you call this calligraphy or is that something else I'm not sure but our house in hotel the all of them is antique yeah since Jan Dynasty yeah all right how many how many rooms do you have in in a hotel one person's room two people's room two people room two room and we have one two three four five rooms five rooms and this is family rooms so this would be the biggest room that you have two rooms and they five people can stay there okay hold on what's going on here nothing there just

man in fact it's looking worse now that I've been hammering at it it's got some discoloration to it we're taking advice from the audience anyone know how to use this ancient Korean lrat Heraldo is all ears going to stick to the to the rice wine so here's the wall to this Palace complex guess I was [Music] wrong [Music] now I'm going to do a little tour around here and see what's [Music] happening totem po wow it looks like a [Music] gan don't step ahead of the crow stor right in the middle of the city yep I'm just making a video what's up I was going say take my picture not don't want a video a picture yes I can too busy that's okay you done that all right thank you just doing a 360 oh yeah oh you know I should I should do that well now that I've done it it didn't turn out too well but okay where do you want me to so this according to the plet I just read would be the typical Korean House in the 1800s for a middle class family an ordinary family what's pretty cool is that it is open so we can go inside and have a look man if this is a middle class glass I must said they were balling well if this was middle class I can I can tell you uh your average Norwegian family was definitely not living this large in the 1840s yeah this must have been a huge huge family I don't know about the family structures back then but this seems to be to be more like a uh like a farm for a a uh huge family rather than a nuclear family of just a husband wife and a couple of kids guessing here we have the kitchen farming equipment oh here you know what hands down this this house where you could see how um a normal well according to the plet a normal family to me they look to have been quite well off lived is the coolest thing in this entire Royal um uh the palace complex in fact this is uh this is much cooler than where I'm staying at the moment as well let's go out back here and see now this is uh but this has obviously been relocated This Old House was not here on these um Royal Palace grounds uh so it's been relocated and and uh and probably restored and and pimped up a bit cuz this doesn't look 150 years old even though you never know some pottery this is probably I see now why this family was so wealthy and have hold on are we filming yes and have such a big home they were this was the local gongo Brewing operation and that's how they can have a a house with a with a six rooms and a huge a huge uh oh man this must be the dny yep even with a what's as you crouch down here this would be your your lower your lower back rest so you can kind of chill man Korean man they were ahead of their time in toilet technology already back in the 1850s wow this thing is so cool now here obviously you would have your chickens and this would be where you have your pork clock reserves exactly what you what you did with this contraption I don't know but man this was so cool absolutely and this is is a little away from the Royal Palace complex so if for some reason you you didn't know about this man this is way cooler than the actual Royal uh complex I wish I could stay in a place like that one day a proper Farm stay anyway let's get back to the hotel shall we [Applause] for [Applause] [Applause] I didn't have that I didn't have that I met Pedro through a mutual friend I was so happy because I thought I found my person the beauty of staying here in the winter where is it Jesus you guys see oh there we go hot do last one Jesus it's cold outside like Min is two cheers no she does not look like a Greek goddess we're in Greece I feel alive I feel sexy I
