Ding Dong to everyone out there in cyberspace. Alwyn's already mentioned the Mud fest. It was quite amusing... It basically is what you would imagine, people getting muddy at the beach . It had it all - cheesy music, drunk crazy muddy wayguks (whitey), drunk crazy muddy Koreans, cheap beer, bikini girls and lots of mud. I managed to slippery myself up nicely. On the downside there was no nudity involved - and everyone knows slippery and naked go hand in hand. But you can't win 'em all. On the plus side we were given two roman candles by a random kiwi dude. When I was in the water washing the mud this Korean kid comes up to me and says Hello! (not that strange - those of you who have been or are currently in Korea would not be surprised by this at all) and the usual questions followed How are you? where are you from? etc. followed by "Do you like Gimch?" I said what - "Do you like Gimch". I said "do you mean do you mean Kimchi?" he smiled inanely "I like Gimch - Goodbye" I said "see ya" He swam off - about 10 minutes later he comes back "Can I help you?" - "No thank you" - "Okay goodbye". Welcome to Korea.

Well that was my Sunday in a nutshell. Saturday was cool too - went shopping for crazy Korean items in the day (I got sprayed with deodourant by a promo girl in the mall - freaked me out) and went out at night and enjoyed some of the local swill - jolly good show. Oh and one more thing - on the bus ride home on sunday night we went past a shop called "Queer" and on the next block there was a bar called "Bong". I love this place.

Not much else to report except that we are going to Japan in a week. Where, as well as travelling around the country, we will be going to the Fuji rock festival where we will see such artists as Beck and Fatboy Slim with a whole bunch of Japanese people. It's gonna be f**kin awesome. We will try and get some photos and stuff to post on here.
