Out in the Country
Much of the Korean population lives in and near large, modern cities. Modernity is changing urban Korean culture at breakneck speed. These photographs come from Korea's more rural districts. Driving through Korea's rural farmland is a lot like driving through north Georgia; artifacts of a dying way of life sit side by side with more contemporary homes - except that there's no kudzu, and an old-style Korean farmhouse is a good bit different than those found in the rural south. It seems to me that Koreans are more intentional about preserving the old ways, as well. Still, modern urban culture is making its way to the countryside; rural Koreans are adopting modern technology. And, like their American counterparts,? developers are beginning to offer urban Koreans an the opportunity to find a restful oasis outside the busy city centers.
