We went to the Cheonan World Dance Festival again, but this time instead of going with North Korean defectors, our party included 3 Americans, 2 New Zealanders, A Brit, and a Egyptian.......
After enjoying a late lunch of pajeon (green onion pancake) and a surprisingly familiar sweet and sour pork, we wandered the festival....including:
After enjoying a late lunch of pajeon (green onion pancake) and a surprisingly familiar sweet and sour pork, we wandered the festival....including:
- Traditional tea tasting (where the ladies at the booth excitedly took pictures of us with their iphones)
- Free fruit and rice cake stand which was swarmed with people
- Facepainting
- Grape fishing (watching, not participating)
- And...from a distance we watched 2 elderly ladies dancing alone in the huge "dance tent"
At the end of the day, we returned home and bought some grapes from a vendor on the corner. These special Korean grapes have thick skins which are not eaten. You suck out the innards of the grape, discard the skin, and spit out (nicely) the seeds. What a hassle...but totally worth it for what might be the most delicious grape that I have ever had!!!
