On our way to Hyanggyo Confucian School, we passed by this 106 year old giwajip (tiled) hanok house. It's the house of Baek Nak-jung, a high-ranking official during the reign of King Gojong from the Joseon Dynasty.

Wanted to go inside to take some photos, but on the door there is a notice stated: "No-booked no admittance. If you have pre-booked contact us +82-63-284-9929." So, it's only open for their guests.
I was quite stunned as few people crawled out from a 'hole' when
I was about to pose for a photo!

헐~! Unbelievable, huh?! How to go in and out
through this petite (in width and length) wooden door?!
Those people had to bend their head and body in order to go through that mini door. Actually, we thought that it;s for passing through things without opening the door. But, seriously... I'm pretty sure that my husband can't go in with his big tummy! I think I'll have a hard time too :P
