The festival comprised the usually stalls, dried seaweed, ginseng, leather goods, etc. As well as various craft centers where you could purchase puppets and make your own masks. Entertainment included Korean rappers, girls wrestling (don’t get excited guys) and traditional music.
It is a Korean tradition to write a prayer on a strip of paper and hang it on a piece of twine. We don’t know any prayers but we figured we would do our best to write our name. We weren’t to know that this would create a frenzy of Korean Kodak enthusiasts who began to push and shove to get the best vantage spot to take the ultimate snap of what was obviously a very exciting moment for them.
I went first and a few people had began to take out their arm length cameras, but by the time Cindy’s turn came around they were telling her where to stand, what to do and how to do it. One lady even told her to ‘Stop laughing’(which as we all know is very hard for Cindy).
It was actually hard for me to get a picture of Cindy, although I had already decided that the media gallery was far more interesting than what Cindy was doing anyway... The frenzy eventually subsided and we all went on our way, although for the rest of the day we often noted large camera lenses pointing in our direction.

do you reckon they might actually think you're famous or just different?? thats pretty funny.
brett the lady who pulled you on stage must have known about your amazing dance moves that seem to make an appearance every now and then. keep up the good work!!
Actually Julz, Someone said to us the other day, "Are you strangers?, because you look strange.."
Wow, such a shame that you have to go all the way to korea to achieve any level of notoriety. I'm sure the dance moves that you seem to have inherited are a direct result of the lessons that Mum and I had at the Dingup hall all those years ago, gypsy tap and all that exciting stuff!!
