Kimchi Festival and PICTURES!!!

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Kimchi Festival with some friends. It's about as exciting as it sounds - a festival for kimchi (vegetables, usually cabbage, fermented with red pepper paste). If you like kimchi (which I d0), it was rather interesting. If you don't like kimchi, you can't really like Korean food and the festival would be less interesting. Generally speaking, of course.

Anyway, it was a good time and we had some good kimchi. Being foreigners at a kimchi festival, we stuck out somewhat more than usual and received some nice attention from a group of elementary school girls and an old man. Also a few video cameras and photographers.

A good time had by one and all!

Here's a quick explanation of the pictures. Sorry it's not very well organized, but this is faster. There are some pictures of Emily and our friend Matt enjoying Korean traditional games. (Actually, I don't know if they're traditional or not, but we saw Korean kids doing it so we joined in.) Also of the World Cup Stadium, built for the 2002 World Cup. (That's soccer.) Also some pictures of drawings done of Emily & I. Also pictures of us on this one street downtown. One also of Korean Buddhist monk painting a good luck symbol guy. A picture of our friend with the girls that hung out with us for a while. I'll let you figure out which picture is which. Let's pretend it's a game or something.
