Bikes & Palace

We bought a bike last week, and inherited another bike from the other foreign couple (Ben & Ashley.)  This past Saturday was kind of nice, just above freezing, so we went for a bike ride around Suwon.  There is a little stream that runs through the city, with a path alongside it, so we could ride on that without having to deal with traffic.

At one point the stream was frozen and there were people out playing the traditional Korean game of ice boarding.  I don't know what the real name is, but that's what I would call it.  You sit on a board that has two thick wires along the bottom, like skates, and you propel yourself with wooden poles with nails on the bottom.  

We ended up at a market.
