These thatched houses reminded me the ancient houses in Highlands, Hebridean islands. But they were build from stones and sometimes long to accommodate few families and sometimes animals. That is another similarity with our two countries. It is good to know that the village Nakaneupseong is in such good condition and people respect the tradition.
I have a web site with the thatched roof house up, just if you are curious to see how similar they looked like:
