Hannam Village Festival

---

So living in Korea can be trying sometimes...even for a person that loves to travel as much as I do. Navigation can be an issue with crowds...I'm talking about both the subway and on the highway! But today we got to have some fun close to home for FREE!! YEAH!! We had been excited for this day since we recieved the fancy invite in our apartment door. So at 11am we headed downstairs to partake in some of the activities in our backyard. The community leaders must have shelled out some money because it was allot to do ...ALL FREE!! :o) We got to taste some diffrent varientirs of Korean food that I might have been scared to try on my own but not when it's FREE!! I really was surprised at the steamed rice cake. I can dig it. It's not as moist as amercican cake but it's alright. Tons of Kimchi!! But wait they gave away prizes too!! REALLY GOOD PRIZES!! I won 2!! How awesome is that?!! I won a deep turkey fryer and a beach/sports chair! The only down side was the wait for some of the activities. Damien waited an whole hour in line for his turn but made a very cool bowl on the potery wheel. Lina decided to take her kite kit home to save for another day. She rather watch the ceremonies that took place. Her favorite was the water ceremony in which the villagers were dressed in grass/bamboo stalks? and had a giant turtle made of the same material. the head would dance around and move as if was drinking water out the well. We got to see the famous Korean B-bop Boys that do break dancing and a group of hip young females that rocked some pretty good rythms on thier drums. After trying to win some airline tickets (no luck) we headed home for the evening. Well family and friend welcome to my blog and you can keep up with our adventures in Korea!
