Lovely Korean Costumes in Rainbow Colors

Travelling to a place which you’ve never been before is very enjoyable when the group you are travelling with are friendly and cooperative. This makes for good memories once the tour is over. One of our stops was at a place where we were given the privilege of donning Korean costumes and taking photographs.

There were many costumes for both men and women. All we had to do was to select the colors we liked and the right size. However it wasn’t easy when there were about fifty people jostling to get the nicest costumes. Needless to say, these were not from our group.

Here we have the oldest guy in our group who chose the Emperor’s costume in regal yellow and the ladies in our groups posed sportingly with him as his ‘concubines’!
Next is our family photo, taken together with my daughter Grace who accompanied us on this trip.
Grace is seen here with two elderly sisters in our group.
Don’t we all look Korean? Tour groups usually bring their guests to places like this so that they can don the national costumes and pose for photographs. Maybe our country can take a leaf from the Korean tour industry. After all we have so many ethnic groups with a big variety of costumes, a great potential for tourism players.
