July 16th was the 14th Annual Mud Fest in Boryeong. I think this tradition originated because the mud was considered healthy for your skin and they went to indulge in its benefits. Eventually, this festival turned into one massive foreigner party. I think about 85% of the foreigners in Korea go to Mud Fest. It is held on a beach and everyone just gets covered from head to toe in mud and go on rides, go swimming, and there was even bands like a concert. It was all day and night and pure chaos. The rain stopped by noon is and the rest of the day was pure sunshine. Everyone got sunburned including myself and I spent all day today rubbing fresh aloe vera straight out of the plant onto my skin. It is already feeling much much better. Here are some photos from the event!
