Jeannie and I have watched a lot of Korean dramas over the years. A few have included scenes in a forest with thick bamboo perhaps 20 feet tall or more. It seemed kind of otherworldly to me so knowing that we were going South Korea, I researched and told Jeannie that it was one of the places I wanted to visit. Since we had rented a car and it was on the way to our next major city, we headed out on the highway for a two hour drive to the Damyang Bamboo Forest.
