APPLES and PEARS
PEACHES and CHESTNUTS
Although these chairs are obviously promotional in nature, they offer a novel seating option at the Cheongju Airport, just outside the small version of the Jiki Museum dedicated to the history of movable type printing which originated here.
Cheongju is the capital of North Chungcheong Province, the only landlocked province in Korea. The province is mostly rural and produces many fine crops including these featured fruits.
