Mud, mud, glorious mud

Last weekend Lauren and I went down with WorknPlay to Korea's leading festival: the Boryeong Mud Festival. I'm not entirely sure what we spent out 70 000 won on since we were given a lot of 'free time' to sit on the beach (or paint ourselves with mud as we pleased), though we did partake in the compulsory military training in the mud flats (see right) and a large pork dinner.

I think we met more Brits that weekend than I've met in my entire time in Korea so far, and though we opted out of the mud slides and wrestling, we had a lot of fun exchanging "remember that TV programme..." stories and avoiding burly drunk (muddy) Americans.

Despite having been eaten alive by mosquitos and forgetting the sun cream, it was a great getaway for some sun, sea and...mud.
