What a fun and exciting day at the Boryeong Mud Festival! I only wished the day was longer to keep having more fun. I never thought I'd be sitting here looking forward to the next time I can spend a whole day covered in mud! I just can't believe I've gone this long in Korea without having ever been. Don't be like me and wait for "next year". Hop on a bus or train from Seoul to Daecheon beach from July 25th to August 10th this year and, for a reasonably small fee of 10,000 won for weekdays and 14,000 won for weekends, you can join in the fun too. Or, if you're a foreigner in Korea, look up Funday Korea Networks and join them next time! Activities include a mud obstacle course, wrestling, pools, volleyball, slides, concerts a black eagles air show, and so much more! There's even small sponsored booths that give away free stuff! As always, a big thank you to @funday.korea.networks for inviting me along on this free trip, for giving me the chance to meet and hangout with new people, and for the surprise goodie bag!
If you keep your valuables with you in a waterproof bag, you can leave the rest of your stuff laying on the ground by the gates near the entrance of the activity zone. Also, they will have more than one "break time" where all activities are closed so they can refill the mud and what not. Use that time to check out the booths or the nearby beach.
