MUD!!

Mud Festival was hilariously awesome! Held at Daecheon Beach in Boreyong, it is the biggest event in all of Korea, with foreigners floccking to the site. Daecheon beach is a huge and beautiful sandy beach. No natural mud here and so the mud has to be trucked in from the real mud beach. We had a chance to visit the mud beach though, where we rolled around in the mud and got dirty! From mud fights to mud sliding, to mud wrestling, there was not a clean body in sight. After we got in this cemented-in salt water tub and rinsed off. Then they hosed us down to get the rest of the mud off. Back at Daechon Beach, it was a lovely night for beer drinking and lots of fireworks. The public display was amazing. So many colors and patterns, quite impressive! (I think maybe the beer might have helped!?) And of course there was oppertunity to buy mud goods and other souveniers. A highly recommended event and a fun time. Will I make it again next year......?
