Question

My visit to ancient Korea

Dear Mum and Dad,

How is everything in Helsinki? I’m doing great. My host family here in Seoul is really good to me. Last week, I visited a hanok village with my Korean friend, Jinu.

When we arrived at the village, I said. “ Wow! Did we take a time machine?” Jinu said, “ Yeah, we’re in ancient Korea now.” The village was amazing. Every house looked similar, but each one was different.

When I entered the room, I shouted, “ My feet are on fire!” At first, I had to step out of the room. But soon I got used to the hot floor and sat on it. I said to Jinu, “ It would also be nice in Finland. We have long and cold winter months.”

Another interesting thing was the windows. There were no glass windows！I asked, “ Why are the windows made of paper?” Jinu answered, “ The windows are made of special paper, Hanji. So, light and air pass through them easily.

Anyway, say hello to my lovely brother, Pekko. Give him a big kiss for me. See you all in three weeks.

Please send me some pictures of our house. I want to show them to my friends in Korea.

Love, Mikka
