For myself, when I go without Korean food I crave it just the same as I crave the occasional dark chocolate. Korea is a country rich in culture. The Koreans claim that they have a 5,000 year old culture. Museums and historical sites allow anyone a chance to see artifacts for themselves, at an extremely low cost. Unlike Western countries, entry fees to museums and sites of historical cultural interest are very low.
Most temples charge less than two dollars American, and museums are less than a buck.
Though ancient artifacts are great to see, traditions and traditional ways are alive and well every where you turn. Some of these may have been designed with public viewing in mind, such as a bell-ringing ceremony in a downtown park I stumbled across. However, others include drummers drumming,and handing out Korean pressed rice-cakes to new neighbors. I even bought the cakes to give to the other people in my building. Before a wedding the groom and his friends will party down the street carrying bridal gifts in a tradition called haam .
