Yay for Schedules!

After breakfast this morning, we are going to the Namwon, a smaller city to the north that, according to Wikipedia, has a more country feel and We will visit the Chuhyang Festival, an annual event celebrating a Korean literary heroine. Chuhyang was a girl of the lower class, who fell in love with a boy of the yangbang, or highest class. This of course led to anger on the part of his parents, and the story revolves around Chuhyang's loyalty and chastity to the man she loves, even as he is sent away to become a high member of the King's administration. They are reunited, and the city this all takes place in, Namwon, has been called the City of Love in honor of this much beloved story. It has been turned into a tv show, a movie, and a Japanese Manga, Legend of Chun Hyang. The festival was created in 1931, and is one of the 4 festivals we'll be attending this month.
This afternoon we are going to hte Unbong Holy Place of Korean Classical Music, also in Namwon, hopefully to hear some traditional Korean music. Tonight is our formal reception, with the whole of the Rotary District, and then we will be spending tonight with our first host families.
Busy day ahead, and I was thrilled that there is "Coffee Mix" as well as an electric kettle in the room. Though I usually don't drink my coffee with sugar (or instant for that matter) I was thrilled to find that the packet was not just instant coffee, but had powdered milk and sugar already mixed in.
