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
