Nan Hyang Ro Won 10/24/2009
O I N K! We often say this when we see something we normally do not see in the states, or anywhere else for that matter...O I N K ~ It stands for Only IN Korea! Nan Hyang Ro Won is one of the most O I N K places I have seen! Are you ready for this? I copied the next paragraph right from this website. I did not correct their spelling or writing. This is a great example of 'Konglish' .... hold on tight as pictures will follow! ;-) "In the past people displayed a tone which look like a woman's vagina. Shortly after the housewives stated cheating on thier husbands. Then people put another phalic shaped rock beside the woman's rock and the local men's peace came back. This story sounds like a fairy tail but it it really happened. There is also a park for stones located at Na Jeon station, Buk Pyong - myoun, called " Nan Hyang Ro Won ". Once you enter this small park you will see interesting rocks most of them look like a penis or vagina. Some of the mail rocks are very majestic. Two of the femal rocks are called grand daughtor and grond mother. The Grand mother rocks a expecially interesting because the grand mother rock has a huge hole. When poeple come through it, it look like a mmother giving birth. Till last year only a few rocks were there. These rocks were discovered in different parts of the city from 1971. At that time it was believed that if women touched the vagina rocks they would cheat on thier husbands to counter this, poeple curried vagina rocks in. But after that there werw many car accidents and local poeple getting sick with no reason. So the people dug up the vagina rock again. But Jeong Seon Province still wanted to keep thier wives from cheating, so they brought in the penis rock. Meanwhile local people thought if the vagina rock and penis rock were together then it would keep Yin and Yang in harmony. At first local people worried that something bad would happen when the penis rock came in. But nothign came of it. Local women don't have extra-marital affairs even though they touch the vagina rocks. Man's and Woman's energies are said to gather here. Many couples come and pray for their marriage, babies and their bealth. Tourist take pictures of those rare shaped rocks. This spot is becaming a tourist hot spot."
