Boryeong mudfest is an annual summer festival in Korea that traditionally celebrated the cosmetic benefits of the mud in the Boryeong area. Of course now it is a week long drinking festival with various mud related activities to enjoy!
Boryeong is a 6-hour drive from Busan and we left at 6am on the Saturday morning on chartered buses to enjoy the weekend. Our bus turned into a party bus as we turned on the kareoke. We got our rooms sorted out in the town on arrival and hit the beach. We were expecting a mud beach but what the organisers do is truck mud in from nearby mud flats, and there wasn't a lot of it! It was watered down and poured into several 'fountains' for people to help themselves. They had left large paintbrushes for us to paint ourselves, and we used the remaining scraps of mud from the ground to coat ourselves in mud and grit! We bumped into so many friends from Ulsan and Daejeon aswell as Busan crew. Conor, Deborah and I decided to line up for the 'fun zone' - an inflatable area full of slides, fun runs, and a mud prison!
