Lets Get DIRRTY: Boryeong Mudfestival

The Boryeong Mud Festival is a festival that grew out of a need to sell pharmaceautical products made of mud. Well, there is more to it but I will let the web and this video tell you more about it.


Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea Hosted by Beer Steak Bullshit

This year was the tenth annual mudfestival. There was no way I was missing out on any of the action.


My girl had been planning the group way in advance. There was a group of about 10 of us who would be heading down together. It was all held together by this facebook group led by some girl who claimed she had done this before. In an attempt to not slander her I will only state true facts. It was the most disorganized thing I had ever seen. The night we were supposed to leave, no one knew where we would be staying, what bus to ride etc. She yelled at people as if they were children, and to top it off, we had to sleep on the floor.

Aside from her/the planning though, it was all a lot of fun. First off, I went with an awesome group of people. We opted to take the friday night bus and spend 2 nights at daecheon beach. we finally left at about midnight, stocked up on drinks to last the 2-ish hour drive. On the bus, this crazy aussie (maybe kiwi) started chatting up everyone, kissed our male friend (he too was male) before proceeding to grab a mic and do the worst rendition of wonderwall i have ever heard, after which he sang abother song and returned to wonderwall, which caused me to spit my drink on my buddy. A midtrip reststop garnered us some mandu and finally we arrived.



The next day dawned bright and early. After recovering from the shock of sleeping on the floor and the people who kept the hotel up partying until 6 am. 9 am we were up and ready to find some food. After that we grabbed the booze and headed on out. First on the list, mud painting. After getting that, we headed to the wrestling pit for some craziness. I don't think we needed anything after that. Every crevice of my body was covered with mud. Then we enjoyed an awesome concert all while drinking. I had some hot dogs and tequila with a group of aussies and took a nap. Then it was off to enjoy the night. We first had dinner then went to a pub where we were served alcohol by a child no older than 10, till 2 am in the morning. Then we went to a club for a bit...

The next day was sucky, it rained, but all in all I am glad we had an awesome time with a great group of people, and I heard the 2nd weekend was amazing too...
