Destination: Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival 2010 – a fun, weird festival in Gangwon-do, South Korea
Considered to be one of Korea’s best winter festivals, the Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival (화천산천어축제) offers more than enough to see and do. Whether your interests are in fishing for the sancheoneo, a type of mountain trout, or enjoying the frozen-over river,...
Destination: Hi Seoul Festival, Winter 2009 edition (South Korea)
This season’s Hi Seoul Festival welcomes you some citizen art and a scaled back, toned-down attitude. Gone is the multi-story information booth with computers and internet ostensibly to tell you about the festival, as well as the scattered locations across the...
Destination: Seoul Lantern Festival (2009)
The Seoul Patch beat me to the Seoul Lantern Festival by a day, but there’s still a few great opportunities to check out the Lantern Festival, sponsored by the rather silly-named ‘Visit Korea Year’. That endeavor was not worthwhile, but these...
Destination: Seoul Design Olympiad (2009) (South Korea)
After last year’s interesting exhibitions, the Seoul Design Olympiad is back for another year. Going through the 9th through the 29th of October, you’ll have plenty of time – and two more weekends – to check it out. Despite the brouhaha about...
Destination: the NEW Yeouido Han River Park (Seoul, South Korea)
After being closed for nearly a year, the Yeouido Han River Park is back and better than ever – mostly. Yesterday was considered the grand opening of the park to the public, and unbeknownest to me, there was to be a fairly grand ceremony to go with it. Since the...
Destination: Seoul Fringe Festival 2009
This year’s Seoul Fringe Festival has one more good weekend left in it, and definitely makes Hongdae fun to meander around and experience some next-generation artists. Now in it’s 12th year, the Seoul Fringe Festival is an honorable attempt to bring...
Destination: Incheon Global Fair and Festival 2009, part 3
This third part is actually my second visit to the Incheon Global Fair and Festival – see part 1 and part 2 of my first visit. The Incheon Global Fair and Festival continues to impress, even on the second trip. Again it’s essentially impossible to see it...
Destination: Incheon Global Fair and Festival 2009, part 1
The city of Incheon has spent a very long time putting the Global Fair and Festival together, and it shows – an almost overwhelming mengarie of sight and sound, and far too much to see in one day. Take that as both a good thing and bad, since even with a full...
Destination: Boryeong Mud Festival (Daecheon)
UPDATE 4:30PM (Korea time) 14 July 2009 — Some more pictures of the Mud Festival from the AP — many of them showing quite a few Koreans in the mix. See? I’m not the only one saying it 🙂 Summer, thy name is mud. The Boryeong Mud Festival is one of those summer events...
