I'm looking to move to a new apartment. It's in an older home that uses yeontan. Is using yeontan for heating safe?

its a very economical way to stay very warm.

i would suggest from what little I know to make sure that the smoke ventilation system is working well and clean.

Thanks so much! Yes, I've read that it's much cheaper. I'll have to ask the teacher who's living there now for more information about taking care of it.

One of my students in NowonGu still had an outhouse up until '94.

Most old farmhouses still have outhouses.

Most little towns in the provinces didn't even have paved roads until the 90's.

Wow, in the seventies!

Hard to imagine now, impossible almost.

Thanks for the story man!

Not too hard if you knew this. When I first came to Korea, my older students mostly had the same answer for when they got their first phone/TV in their home. 1977!!!!!!

My great grandmother got her first phone in 1890's on her pig farm in Indiana.

My grand parents got their first TV in early 1940's.

Were pigs very popular in Indiana in the 1890's? More than today?

I would say pig popularity has been in decline since the 1890s. I did my senior thesis on that very subject.

I think the pigs at that site are the kind my great grandmother used to make those little Vienna Sausages.
