Citisen of the World: Sea Rafting, Festival, Paintball --> May 28/29

This weekend, I went on another solo trip. It was with Adventure Korea and it seemed like a very promising trip. I was looking forward to meeting new people and taking part in some interesting activities.

Here are the pictures. Enjoy.

This is me at the Pumba (Korean Begger) Festival. I don't know why they have a festival like this. Anyways, we got to wear a rag shirt and get our face painted. Some had prettier designs than others. Apparently, there was also a Korean photo competition going on, so there were LOADS of Korean paparazzi around taking pictures of us foreigners.

Full outfit. Styling, eh? :)

Me and my new friend ManYi. I don't remember if she's from Canada or the US. Hm...

As I mentioned before, some of us got nicer face paint than others.

ManYi stylin' :).

Some weird beggar dance with Makali (Korean alcoholic rice drink).

Lady on stilts next to a beggar blimp. Hm... alright...

There was also a makeshift beggar village with all sorts of interesting things. Here was a clothes line, and since the paparazzi were following us, we thought we might as well give them a show. :)

The 4 of us (new friends). One of the paparazzi used my little camera. There were loads of them lined up. As soon as they saw us here, they swarmed. We had to move to loose the crowd.

Marcia, ManYi and Amy tending the hobo hut.

Oh wow! This is making me so hungry right now!! Some amazing ribs hanging out, waiting to be devoured.

Lady making delicious doughy snacks.

Making mats the old-fashioned way.

2 beggar mimes and a woman on stilts walked into a bar...

Super cute kids. Amy and me managed to escape the paparazzi, but then a woman saw us and sent her 2 kids our way to practice their English. Another day in Korea.

She had a really pretty butterfly painted on.

There were some drums there, so I decided to demonstrate my awesome drumming skills.

Moahahahaha! See?? I can do it!!

Paparazzi!

More paparazzi!

For real?? More paparazzi!

And this is the tour group photo. Not very well taken, but at least I made it in the picture.

After the festival, we headed out to the beach to our hotel and to relax for the evening. ManYi and me went to a sea food restaurant. Awesome stuff, and not too expensive either.

After that, we recruited some people and were planning to go to norebang (karaoke), but we ended up just standing in front of this random building and talking and drinking. I was first to stumble home. What a wonderful evening :).
