I live a sheltered city life whereby the times where I visited the country-side in my life was for charity work or holidays in China.
During the ancestral grave visiting, we stopped by the town to hand out new boxed towels to my husband's far relatives who still choose to live in the countryside.
My husband's father had built a modern brickhouse with modern facilities for his far relative of his who had been living in the old wooden house alone (just directly next to it, she didnt take it down).
The lady was almost 80yrs old, and my husband called her 'great-aunt'. He reminiscence the days he spent in the village and that was just mere 20yrs ago.
We explored the old house and saw that she still made some Korean sauces in the traditional pot. The sauces are fermented for about a year before being consumed.
There was this huge spider on the lamp post that we just had to zoomed the camera to take picture of it. It was bigger than than shown on the pic... and thank goodness it was up on the lamp post else my husband and I would lost courage to look at it.
I had also admitted to my husband that this was the first time to be so close to a cow...
