More Daejeon pictures

At the park we went to in Daejeon over the weekend, there were tons of beautiful lotus flowers and lily pads!
We went on those swan boats where you have to peddle and this is the view of the park.
This is the name of the park. The first sound is P-something, the second sound is l-something, the third sound is g-something, the fourth sound is something-n. I am having a hard time with Korean vowels because the sounds don't translate exactly into English.
This delicious food is samagoesy (spelling is way off) covered in pine needles. No you don't eat the pine needles, but they give it flavor. It is basically a heavy rice dough surrounding a kind of brown bean paste. They taste pretty good.
This is a traditional Korean game where you throw four sticks. and each stick has two sides, one blank and the other with markings. If they land certain ways, you can move so many spots and you play with two teams. There is a strategy, and it is quite fun.

The rice cakes covered with Pine needles is called Seong peon (the only reason I know this is because I had my students as their parents how it is made and the correct spelling).
