Tea Festival and Ulsan Old Downtown Band
























Grabbed some delicious food in Daegu Friday night with the Gaksan locals.  Saturday at the Daegu Exco was the Tea Festival.  Wanted to head across to the actual tea fields, but they were on the other side of the country.  Really didn't fancy another Mokpo trip.  There were meant to be a few people going, but due to hangovers it ended up just me and the bf.


There were stalls with traditional clothes, 찜질방 pajamas, plants (sadly no tea plants, Mark really wants one), a small museum, different cups and pots, coffee, lots and lots of tea, a main stage and a few places where you could watch the traditional korean tea ceremony.  The main stage had foreigners wandering around in 한복, a big band (including 3 generations of a family) playing mouth organs.  The primary school brothers came back on by themselves to play a KPOP cover.  Strange, very Korean and enjoyable.

Afterwards we headed to Ulsan.  There were bands playing in a park in Old Downtown.  Apart from the bands there was also a group of asian (mostly girls, but a couple gayboys as well) high school age kids from Korea and the Phillipines who did sexy line dances.  Straight mans wet dream.  Foreigners got free beer, which ran out pretty quickly, but that didn't really stop us.  Dinner and drinks, fairly quiet night as we were saying goodbye to a friend.






Remind you of the movie you've got hidden in your sock drawer?
