Diamond was very happy to hear that, and excitedly followed Lim Ji-soo after exchanging a few words.
It was her first time entering such a home and honestly, she loved everything that she was seeing. Unlike in her country where they are fond of using bricks to build their house, here, they like mixing bricks, stones and wood. The wood seems to be the expensive kind. She wasn't into this kind of thing, but just looking at it, it was probably the kind that sells like antiques.
If Andrea could hear her, he would have told her that the house was built with Gesalsi Red Pine (Sonamu) – this is a backbone of hanok (traditional homes) architecture. It is lightweight yet remarkably strong, flexible in extreme weather, and natural resistant to moisture.
The other wood was Gesalsi Zelkova (Neutinamu) which features a particularly fine, deep grain. Because of its hardness and beautiful finish, it is most sought after for making furniture and intricate wooden fixtures.
