Traditional Korean Tea House

This weekend, the bookclub I belong to met.  We went to a traditional tea house to talk about "Pride and Prejudice."  It is a very nice place.  Stone steps lead up to the top of the hill that is contained by stone walls.  It has a nice small lawn with a patio there.  We went inside.  The structure is wooden with wooden overhangs supported by wooden posts.  The L-shaped building has huge windows all around the inside looking into the lawn area.  It is a world all off it's own.  A place of peace separated from the modern world.  Inside there are plenty of western tables and comfy seats.  However, small raised corners boast the traditional tables and cushions as well.  There are old decorations displayed on the walls and against the walls.  Traditional Korean plates, chests, and knick knacks.  I enjoyed several steaming cups of tea and a sweat red bean soup with rice cake soaked in it.  It was a very pleasant two hours.
